Barstool Sports Founder Calls State Fair of Texas Food ‘Disgusting’
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy didn’t hold back when sharing his opinion of the food at the State Fair of Texas.
Portnoy is known for giving honest reviews and I respect the hell out of him for it. While many people will hold back and offer constructive criticism, he will give it to you straight.
And he was in his usual form when discussing the food at the State Fair over the weekend, simply calling it “disgusting.”
I need to point out that he wasn’t talking about the staples of the State Fair like Fletcher’s Corny Dogs. He said the food in general was great. It’s the more adventurous stuff like the Cotton Candy Bacon on a Stick that he thinks is disgusting.
As expected, a lot of people commenting on the video on X aren’t taking his criticism well. Many Texans don’t want to hear anyone from out of state criticizing anything about the Lone Star State.
However, a lot of people were coming to his defense, saying he’s not wrong. As much as I hate to admit it as a Native Texan, I have never been to the State Fair, so I don’t have an opinion either way.
But I will be the first to admit that not all of it looks or sounds good to me. I’m a pretty simple guy like that. Just give me a corn dog or a funnel cake and I’m good to go.
