Deep Fried Dynasty

The State Fair of Texas, where food is bigger, better, and deep fried; Fried Jesus and the Stiffers serve up fried butter, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fried s'mores; equipment and employee issues hinder Smokey John's.

Game day at the Cotton Bowl in the center of the fairgrounds; chef Cassy creates social media buzz; a bad batch of funnel cake mix shuts down the fryers at Fernie's; Smokey John must deliver a shipment of turkey legs before halftime.

Fernie's Funnel Cakes take honors for their toffee-coffee crunch cake but run out of their main ingredient: donuts; Gulf Coast Grill's Deep Fried I-35 gets trashed; chef Cassy struggles with employee problems.

Smokey John's enlist Abel to help sell their new Crispy Crazy Corn; Gretchen pushes an employee's jingle to help promote the Deep Fried I-35; and the Stifflers are busted for unknowingly selling alcohol to a minor.

Abel struggles to run his booths after his top manager suffers a kitchen accident; the Stifflers struggle with organization as Rick micromanages some of their staff; meeting Nevins Concessions, who brings the world of meat on a stick.

A storm strikes fear at the fairgrounds; Tami-Jo Nevins leaves daughter Josey alone to see if she can handle the business by herself; Cassy uses the rain as an excuse to pick up her new dumpling machine.
