5 great places to get Corn Dogs in Dallas-Fort Worth area

For anyone who has spent time in the Lone Star State, it's no secret that Texas boasts a bounty of delectable culinary offerings. When thinking about the state's culinary heritage, iconic names like Blue Bell, chicken fried steak, and Tex-Mex instantly come to mind.

According to historical records, corn dogs made their way to Texas in the 1920s, thanks to German settlers, though they lacked their characteristic sticks at the time. The credit for popularizing the modern corn dog, served on a stick, goes to brothers Carl and Neil Fletcher, who introduced their "corny dogs" at the State Fair of Texas in 1942, with the development process starting as early as 1938.

Fletcher’s Corny Dogs Location: State Fair of Texas and Pop-Up Food Trucks

Before the pandemic, Fletcher’s Corny Dogs were exclusively available at the Texas State Fair, where they sold around 500,000 corny dogs during the fair's three-week run. However, in 2020, with the fair's closure due to COVID, the Fletcher family adapted, offering corny dogs at Golden Chick as a limited-time option. They also acquired food trailers and now host pop-up events and catering services across the city. In addition to the original corny dog, they offer variations like jalapeño and cheese, the bird dog, the veggie dog, the cheezy pup, and the "make mine Texan dog." You can also indulge in old-fashioned funnel cakes, curly fries, lemonade, and deep-fried Oreos. Some corn dog options can be shipped nationwide via Goldbelly. On National Corn Dog Day, a mobile kitchen near the Katy Trail will be selling corny dogs, lemonade, and funnel cakes from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
