Texas makes it possible

Somehow, I got to Joe Flanigan's Twitter feed and found this:

Texas Chef Successfully Deep-Fries...Beer!

I'm alternating between a Weight Watchers-esque OMGfacepalm and an unexplainable swell of home-State pride. Yes, I'm originally from the Great State of Texas. They occasionally export the citizenry for the purpose of infiltrating the rest of the world to save it.

I would have given this post the subject "Only in Texas," but I suspect there are some Georgians practicing to deep fry moonshine or something. Possibly peach schnapps? My other adopted home states are out of the running because:

1. California - Fried food? What's that?
2. Washington - We mesquite grilled some applejack once
3. Florida - Beer battered conch ain't good enough for you? MIA is that-a-way, tourist boy.

There's a saying about the way to get the impossible done is to tell a Texan it's impossible. This is doubly true if it involves deep frying or beer, so this just had to happen.

I didn't read all the details, but I'll bet it can be done on a backyard grill, too.

I saw it an thought it was awesome. And trust JFlan to share it :)

It is totally awesome, yet still not something I plan to try at home (nor anywhere else.) If it's yucky, who needs it? If it's not yucky, I need no further addictions of a deep fried nature. ;)

For real! It falls into the same category of the deep-fried Twinkies or Snickers bars. "Not ever going to try for fear I'll like it"
