Deep Fried Alcohol -- Beer and Wine Make it to the Deep Fryer.

I need to categorize this in the "Where there's a will, there's a way" category.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that some of the newest deep fried goodies include beer and the frozen margarita.  (YAAY!  Finally, somebody has found the best (a.k.a. easiest) way to win my heart!)

Sealed in dough, these "Beer Blasts are still made with a top-secret process that seals beer inside of a "pretzel-like dough pocket that's shaped like ravioli." The process is so secretive, that the creator is awaiting a patent for the process.

The deep fried frozen margaritas are a little more traditional.  They are made with funnel cake batter that is mixed with tequila or tequila-flavored wine then dusted with margarita mix and served in a salt-rimmed plastic glass.

I don't know about you, but I now have two very important reasons to make it to the closest fair!  Now, all I gotta do is actually find one!

New Restaurant Coming to Davidson

Flatiron Kitchen and Tap House will be opening around May / June in Downtown Davidson. Locates on Main Street, the restaurant will feature 24 beers on tap.

Chef Time Groody, whom you know from the Charlotte restaurants Sonoma and Pie Town, will be heading this restaurant venture with his partners Chat Hollingsworth and Michael LaVecchia, who is a Johnson and Wales graduate.

Now, I have just one question -- would they consider opening across the street from me?

Thanks to the Joe Marusak of the Charlotte Observer, and the Huntersville Herald for this info.
