Texas Chef Successfully Deep-Fries...Beer!
By Colin Kearns
I sincerely hope the committee that hands out Nobel Prizes in the science fields have taken notice of one Texas chef who recently achieved a gastronomical breakthrough: deep-fried beer.
That’s right. According to this report: The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic. When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation.
Inventor Mark Zable said it had taken him three years to come up with the cooking method and a patent for the process is pending. He declined to say whether any special ingredients were involved.
Zable will introduce the dish at a fried-food competition in Texas later this month. He’ll serve five of the ravioli-like bites for a very modest $5. If any of our Texas readers plan on attending this food festival, please report back to the Wild Chef (fswildchef@gmail.com) and let us know how they tasted.
This dish sounds like the perfect hunting camp side dish. But the question is, what wild game do you think it’d go best with? I’m thinking it’d taste mighty fine next to a slab of grilled backstrap. Any other suggestions? —Colin Kearns

Absolutely awsome the best of both worlds, beer and deep fried.
Since his brew of choice is Guinness, I am thinking something full flavored. Maybe a venison stew, but definately something involving red meat.
Maybe just mix them half and half with meat filled ravioli, for a full meal.
Great food ever.
This guy is a genius! Serve it with some pickled herring and cheese for the perfect game day snack.
I'll be going, and I'll be trying it. I'll let you know what it's like, but I already know the answer.
I'd love to try some. It sounds heavenly, yet, I only like ice-cold beer.
Awesome, Phil. Can't wait to hear your report.
All that's left is mak'em bacon wrapped cuz everything is better with bacon!
Depends on how you look at it.
To me its deep fried ravioli.
He just switched the name for marketing purposes, because...
its all about the "dolla". :o)
Can you get cheese on that? :-P
wow i wonder how many of those bad boys it would take to get hammered
Wrap that sucker in bacon, then he'd be on to something!
Flat, hot Beer? No thanks!
Texas ... of course it just had to come from Texas. But Irish beer instead of Lone Star? Figure he better get that right before the competition.
Where in Texas? This is not exactly a small State.
WTF, he should be arrested for ruining good beer.
It will debut at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, which runs from Sept 24th through Oct 17th. The State Fair of Texas is the largest and best state fair in the United States. It is highly recommended, especially if you've never been. For more info visit wwww.bigtex.com, the official website of the State Fair of Texas.
Coming soon to a Fast Food window near you:
"That'll be two Double Cheesburgers and a large Drink...............Duhh, You want Beers wit' that."
did his finger nails go in the deep fryer?
Nirvana has officially arrived.
Uh Oh! Just wait until the commercials start.
And, you must be 21 years of age to purchase the packaged solution!
This is a local Dallas story that talks about the food competition - a competition for the State Fair of Texas, and the fried beer will be served up for the State Fair this year:

I'll let you know how it is in a couple of weeks....
Interesting, but calling $5 modest for about an ounce of beer and probably not a lot of pretzel is not really accurate. However, I would still try it for $5, at least once. Seems like the outer skin needs to be partially cooked first to be able to keep the beer in when dropped in the fryer, so it doesn't bubble up & pop while cooking. Pretty clever though, good work.
I thought I read it wrong hope it taste good. Larry@ ibs symptoms
