By Alex in Food & Drink on Oct 11, 2007 at 4:56 pm

ABC World News Webcast has the this guy named "Chicken Charlie", a culinary genius who deep fries everything!

Chicken Charlie has sold close to 100,000 fried Twinkies, 200,000 fried Orio cookies in the last five or six years, 10,000 Krispy Kreme chicken sandwiches in the last two years. New for this year selection is Fried S’mores and the deep fried peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich. He sells about 300 to 400 of those every day!

And boy do Americans looove fried food: Charlie’s little trailer sells about 3,000 to 5,000 orders every day and grosses about $1.5 million a year.

    “grosses” is a very appropriate term.

    Another great Scottish invention making an impact in the USA! (The Deep-Fried Mars Bar has been a Glasgow speciality since the 80s, though Wikipedia thinks it was invented in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen.)

    Fried oreos are surprisingly good.

    Everything in moderation. If I didn’t share my portion, I would have puked.

    Only fried food I’ve ever eaten are eggs, sunny-side up.
    Am I un-American? Fried stuff makes me shudder. And
    incidentally, I look 10 yrs. younger than I am (mid-40′s).
