Chefs Graham Elliot and Felipe Armenta Review the Best State Fair of Texas Food | Eater Dallas
"Now run by her daughters, Christi Erpillo and Johanna McKee, Fernie’s Funnel Cakes is a decades‑old fairstand that leans into Americana and family story — Elliot loved the name and the backstory about their mother Fernie — and delivers a classic, simple dish done very well. The cherries are tart, the crust leans almost into cobbler territory with salted butter, and the sweet‑and‑salty balance impressed; Armenta called it a classic and appreciated its straightforwardness." - Courtney E. Smith
