Summer is almost here! It actually arrives Wednesday at 7:09PM - we're still a ways off from the Ex, but it's never too early to think about what deep fried goodness they'll be bringing us this year.

Deep fried bacon, bananas, ice cream, Kool-Aid, butter, Pop-Tarts, Twinkies, and salad?... no wait that doesn't make any sense. But does any of it? The list of things to deep fry is as deep as your imagination.

The latest I'm reading about is deep-fried cereal. Mmmmmmmm. Is that deep-fried Cinnamon Toast Crunch I smell, or am I having a stroke?

In 2011, fair food vendor “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian launched his deep-fried Kool-Aid balls at the San Diego County Fair. Before that, he introduced the deep-fried Twinkie and other unique fair food concoctions. This year he is debuting Totally Fried Cereal, deep-fried breakfast cereal, at his San Diego County Fair booth in Del Mar, California. See below for the deep-fried goodness.
