An Intimate Look At DEEP FRIED SLIM FAST Bars, This Summer’s Hot New Fair Food

Last week news broke that the Deep Frying King Pin (yes, that’s what we call this G of the fair food game) Chicken Charlie was going to deep fry something that would make haters’ heads explode: SLIM FAST bars.

We jumped down to the San Diego Fair to kick it with Charlie himself at the booth. He was posted up against a wall of produce behind his booth, as well as boxes and boxes of these:

That’s right. SLIM FAST bars. For our readers who may be too young to remember, or those that need a refresher, Slim Fast is a brand of diet and weight loss products that includes shakes, snacks, packaged meals and other dietary supplements. Chicken Charlie is no slim chicken, and decided that he’d take the Chewy Chocolate Crisp Slim Fast protein bars and deep fry them sunnavabitches, then hit them with a chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar.

These things are gonna be available everywhere Chicken Charlie is this summer, including stops at the OC Fair and the LA Fair.

Here’s a video to tide you over until you get to a summer fair and try this thing for yourself:
