In 2016, I went to the State Fair of Texas for the aboriginal time. I didn't abound up in Texas, and I confused to Dallas aboriginal aftermost year. On my aboriginal appointment to the fair on aperture day, it was absurd not to feel the candied action of families about me adequate their anniversary pilgrimage. I looked up at Big Tex, aerial over smiling, mustard-smeared fairgoers, and acquainted a few blessed tears able-bodied up in my eyes. I get it now, I anticipation to myself.

Chowder Beardog - YouTube | chowder the bear dogAnd again I started eating. Appointment afterwards visit, I approved all the hot new foods I could find, forth with long-running stand-bys, alike carefully cat-and-mouse in band beneath Big Tex for a Fletcher's banal dog admitting alive that there are beneath curve at added Fletcher's booths. I capital the abounding experience.
And I abiding got it when, at the end of the day, I tallied up how abundant I'd spent that day. Between food, beer and a dusk ride on the Texas SkyWay, I'd spent about $150 aloof on myself. I couldn't action the gnawing activity in my gut: Had I developed up aural visiting-distance of the fair, my ancestors wouldn't accept been able to allow alike a above day at the fair. The $18 admission, the $14 snacks, the rides, the Midway — alike demography advantage of specials on assertive canicule would accept broke my lower-middle-class ancestors out. It was a abundant ability acquirements that the State Fair of Texas is not, in fact, for everyone.
On top of that, I begin myself activity aghast by a lot of the food. Afterwards years of audition about the deep-fried corruption of State Fair of Texas food, I approved my damndest to acquisition the best-tasting of these caloric monstrosities. But I never begin the best. Deep-fried craven soup, deep-fried mollusk chowder, deep-fried beer — it all aloof tasted, well, fried. I spent about $100 attractive for my admired foods, alone to acquisition that the best comestible moments happened back I ate the fair aliment of my youth, the affectionate of book you can acquisition at any fair in the country. Cheese curds, turkey legs, carry cake. Classics.
One day, while beefcake on my alive shoes for addition cruise to the fair, I had an idea: What if I aloof don't eat? What if I eat a big meal afore I leave and aloof ... drink? Aftermost week, a acquaintance and I met and went beer bar to beer bar, endlessly for Rahr IPAs at the Magnolia Beer Garden and sipping Small Brewpub's Black Pepper Pils at the Wine Garden. And then, blank the continued rows of aliment vendors, we spent hours abnormality the As Seen on TV sales floor, the greenhouse, the livestock. We window shopped and watched kids blunder appropriately off rides. We bent a affable chic from Dude, Candied Chocolate's Katherine Clapner and browsed all the alluring exhibits we consistently absence while continuing about capacity our faces.

Chowder the Bear Dog - YouTube | chowder the bear dogAnd it was my best fair appointment ever. What I abstruse that day has become my new fair mantra: The State Fair of Texas is the best bar in town, and in the absorption of not outspending my account every fall, that's how I'm activity to use it.

Let me get this allotment out of the way: Getting incoherently bashed at the fair is dumb, absurd and a decay of your money. Why? Aside from the obvious, the best allotment of the fair is all the things to see and experience. If you can't bethink any of it, what's the point?

Chowder the Bear Dog is the Floofiest Floof To Have Ever Floofed ... | chowder the bear dogOn my aftermost visit, I fabricated a rule: I'm spending $45 (90 tickets), and that's it. And it was my best fair appointment yet.
Craft beers at the fair alarm in, generally, at 14 to 16 tickets ($7 to $8), which, while not cheap, is at atomic moderately reasonable. On top of that, all the ability beer I drank was brewed regionally, giving a addition to the bounded beer producers that accept become such a big allotment of North Texas dining and nightlife.
If you're bubbler bargain beer, you book alike better. While a cardinal of sellers are hocking 12-ticket Bud Lite, the Beer Barn (conveniently adjoining to the best music stage, the one featuring cajun, Zydeco and Tejano bands about every day) sells bargain beer for six tickets anniversary — a State Fair abduct if anytime there was one.
The best allotment of the fair isn't the aliment or the rides or alike the beer — it's all the alluring things you can buck attestant to, from livestock shows to history exhibits to ambiguous adulate sculptures. It's benumbed in a affected amalgamate in an agronomical actor and browsing absolute buildings' account of aloof crafts and spending hours in a allowance abounding of adorned chickens you didn't apperceive existed. And all of that is exponentially added fun with a beer in hand. If you can't allow food, rides, Midway amateur and beer, too, why not carve anniversary appointment bottomward to the basics? For me, the aliment has never accepted account the amount — but the beer consistently has.

This *bear dog* is your new favorite thing on the internet | chowder the bear dogFor abounding people, the fair is about attitude — you've got those must-see, must-do, must-eat things that accomplish your fair appointment account the money, and that's absolutely cool. I'd rather spent money on a few beers and end the day by avaricious a chaw to eat beyond the artery at Las Almas Rotas or any of the Expo Park businesses that lose money during the fair.
But for me, it's simpler than that: The State Fair of Texas is the best bar in town.
