I don’t know about you, but I really like Genghis Grill. Grab yourself a stainless steel bowl and pile it high with a variety of ingredients to customize your dish. Genghis Grill’s standout is stir-fry.

Build your bowl by picking a protein base out of 14 options (chicken, steak, tofu, beef, scallops, pepperoni, and more), seasoning it, and selecting veggies (you have 30 choices). Then finesse your fare with choice of sauces; Genghis Grill has everything from chili garlic sauce to sweet and sour sauce.

You’ll finish it all up with a starch such as tortillas, udon noodles, or brown rice.

If decisions make you nervous, horrified, dismayed, or woefully glum, opt for a predetermined Genghis bowl, which lists its complete nutritional value. Personalized or prescribed, all bowls are $8.99.

The cooks will fire up your concoction as your mouth starts to water — all in all, a great dining experience.

Today only, this deal gets even sweeter because Genghis is providing you with $25 of food for a mere $10!

The details are:

* Voucher valid through 26 July 2010
* One voucher per table
* Not valid on alcohol
* Downtown location is 4140 Lemmon Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219

There is only one place to be tonite at that is the Dallas Obsesrvers’ “Best of Dallas” party tonite at Trees in Deep Ellum.

The theme of this year’s Best of Dallas issue is “We Can Do It” and it features hundreds of winning shops, services, restaurants, scenes, cultural elements and even athletes. But everyone knows that the Observer has a true can-do attitude about throwing one helluva shindig.

To celebrate the release of the annual special issue, they’re presenting The King Bucks (and others) in the newly renovated and re-opened Trees.

For $5, you can party with some really great tunes and a staff of people who are so looking to cut loose…which your Dallas Observer is totally capable of doing, rest assured.

Date/Time:Wed., September 23, 8:00pm
Price: $5

From the venue that introduced such novelties to the world as the Fried Twinkie and Fried Coke, we now are bracing ourselves for this year’s new fried foods. Last year, Chicken Fried Bacon and a Fried Banana Split took top honors at the annual Big Tex Choice Awards to pick the best new foods at the State Fair of Texas.

This year, the competition is equally innovative (and similarly deep-fried).

• Deep Fried Butter could push the grease-o-meter to a new high. “100 percent pure butter is whipped ’til light and fluffy, then specially sweetened with a choice of several flavors.” It is then surrounded by a “special dough” and quick-fried.

• Twisted Yam on a Stick consists of “a delicious, towering, spiral-cut sweet potato on a 13-inch skewer.” After being plunked in the fryer, it is then “gently rolled in butter” and dusted with sugar and cinnamon.

• Fernie’s Deep Fried Peaches & Cream does not appear to have any butter in the recipe, but other ingredients include “a delicious batter of cinnamon, ginger, coconut, graham cracker crumbs, eggs and milk.” It is then (natch) deep-fried and served on a plate, drizzled with raspberry sauce, sprinkled with streusel and topped with whipped cream. Wait — there is vanilla buttercream icing provided on the side.

• Texas Fried Pecan Pie sounds pretty conventional (except for the fried part, of course). It is served with caramel sauce “then topped with whipping cream and chopped, candied pecans.”

• Country Fried Pork Chips could be your main course, with seasoned, thin-sliced pork loin “surrounded by a tasty corn meal batter and deep-fried.” You can get ketchup with it, but why not go whole hog and pour on the cream gravy?

• Sweet Jalapeno Corn Dog Shrimp sounds almost too simple: “Shrimp on a stick is coated with a sweet and spicy corn meal batter, then deep-fried to a golden brown and served with a spicy glaze.” This could actually have some nutritional value.

• Fried Peanut Butter Cup Macaroon is about what you’d expect from the description. It is, of course, “dusted with powdered sugar” after the oil drains. And you probably wouldn’t want to get it without the available scoop of Blue Bell ice cream, would you?

Next Monday, three judges will evaluate these candidates in a Labor Day taste-off.

The State Fair of Texas 2009 edition opens September 25 and runs through October 18.
