Deep Fried Dynasty

It's opening day at the State Fair of Texas, where food is bigger, better, and deep fried! Fried Jesus and the Stiffers serve up Fried Butter, Fried PB & J's and Fried S'more's. But equipment and employee issues make it a not so sweet day for Smokey John's.

It's game day at the Cotton Bowl in the center of the fairgrounds. Chef Cassy creates social media buzz, while a bad batch of funnel cake mix shuts down the fryers at Fernie's. And will Smokey John's be able to deliver a shipment of turkey legs before halftime or be left holding the bone!

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.

A storm strikes fear at the fairgrounds. Tami-Jo Nevins leaves daughter Josey alone to see if she can handle the business by herself.

Brett at Juicy's hosts a hamburger-eating challenge; Clint and Gretchen argue over staff bonuses; after weeks of tension, Cassy fires two of her long term employees.

Fernie's introduces a new Funnel Cake Chicken Sandwich; Gulf Coast Grill unveils their Brisket Cheddar Ranch Fries; Juan and Brent at Smokey John's play hooky to eat their favourite fair food.

Gulf Coast Grill, Fernie's Funnel Cakes and Nevins Concessions compete in the Battle of Big Tex; Abel battles a bee invasion that affects his sales.

Cassy finally gets her booth working with the help of Brett from Juicy's; Juan and Brent deal with a kitchen fire; Tammy Stiffler goes to the emergency room.
