"Eater Texas has some very exciting news to share: The Big Tex Choice Awards, a fried food convention usually only open to judges, press, and industry folks, is now giving the regular Texan a shot at attending. For $100 per person, anyone can now buy his or her way into the deep-fried heaven. That might seem like a steep price, but the money reportedly goes straight to the State Fair of Texas Scholarship Fund. And, bonus, a Big Tex t-shirt and regular admission ticket to the Fair is included in the purchase price, too.  The event takes place every year before the State Fair of Texas to get fair-goers excited about the insanely decadent fried food creations that will be featured. Past winners have, for example, included a Fried Thanksgiving Dinner, fried beer, and even deep-fried butter.  Purchase your tickets here before they&amp;#039;re all sold out, and be sure to bring lots of napkins to wipe your all that grease off your hands.
