"It&amp;#039;s summertime and you know what that means: time for food vendors at state fairs to come up with some wacky things to fry. So far on this year&amp;#039;s leader board, deep fried cereal at the San Diego County Fair.   Photo Courtesy of myburningkitchen.com More From Delish: Fried Bubble Gum and Other Amazing State Fair Food Nominees The man responsible for last year&amp;#039;s deep-fried Kool-Aid has been tinkering with his vat of oil again. This time, Chicken Charlie, as he is known to his loyal customers, managed to take sugary cereals like Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch and batter them with a wet pancake mix, put them in the deep fryer and garnish them with a little crunchy uncooked cereal on top for good measure. Over 29 years, Chicken Charlie (his real name is Charlie Boghosian), has become quite a celebrity chef for his culinary imagination. He&amp;#039;s turned Oreos, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, White Castle cheeseburgers, s&amp;#039;mores, Twinkies, and...wait for it...frog legs (not our personal favorite) into talked-about fair food.

Down in Texas, Glen Kusak has won awards for his chicken-fried bacon. Another Texan, Abel Gonzales Jr., has managed to deep fry Coca-Cola. Liquids seem to be a popular thing to form into a solid treat. Last year, it was deep fried beer and deep fried butter on a stick at the Iowa State Fair that turned heads. While Boghosian is currently getting attention for his cereal concoction, people will soon be talking as he rolls out his deep fried Spam. Would you try deep fried cereal?
