The winning recipe featured “bubblegum-flavored marshmallows dipped in batter, fried and decorated with icing and powdered sugar.” Some of the other contenders: Deep Fried Pineapple Upside Down Cake; Deep Fried Texas Salsa and something called the The Walking Taco, “seasoned hamburger meat, lettuce, onion, fresh tomato, grated cheese, sour cream and salsa served in a nacho cheese-flavored Doritos bag.”
