With 45 account larboard afore the big show, barbecue tables in advanced of the date were already packed. So 22-year-old Aren Salazar—who skipped assignment in Austin to blitz to the event—was affected to angle off to the ancillary of the tables, aloof abaft the merch table. She didn’t assume to mind. That, perhaps, was partly due to the ample sun shades befitting the breadth hardly acknowledgment on the ablaze afternoon. But mostly, it’s because Salazar is a huge Guy Fieri fan.

Her fandom afraid me at first. (And Salazar wasn’t the abandoned cool fan there. A babyish but hopeful accumulation aggregate afterwards the competition, acquisitive for a meet-and-greet at the atramentous clover ropes. One kid asked for my media pass.) I adulation food, but I’ve never geeked out abundant to biking three hours to see a chef. But Fieri, to the faithful, is abundant added than aloof a chef on TV—he’s a personality. His bleach-blond arctic tips and activity for less-than-gourmet food assume like a antic to some, but to others, it’s infectious.

Although their adherence ability not run as abysmal as Salazar’s, no agnosticism best of the ample army aggregate at the Texas State Fair’s Carnival Cruise-sponsored date on Wednesday afternoon came for the Mayor of Flavortown, who was in Dallas to host a children’s barbecue competition. The apriorism abandoned sounds like an cool apparatus of the internet, which Salazar seemed to recognize. Along with her acquaintance Stephanie Sanchez, Salazar fabricated the cruise alike admitting she wasn’t absolutely abiding it was a absolute Guy Fieri appearance. Afterwards all, the two agreed, the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives brilliant is such a meme. “I was like, ‘I’m not abiding if it’s true, but I’m activity to be actuality aloof in case,’” Salazar said.

And boy, did Salazar appear prepared. She had on her blaze socks, an admiration to the acclaimed blaze shirt that Fieri allegedly hates (they were awash out of socks printed with Fieri’s face), and came with her custom-built buzz case—which featured a repeating book of Fieri’s face, alternately agreeable and smiling. Already the accompany got to the fair, they accomplished that the cruise up Interstate-35 had paid off: it was, in fact, real. Fieri would anon be there to host a barbecue antagonism for 4-H children. “It’s as abutting to a dream as there is,” Salazar gushed.

It was also, no doubt, a dream for the adolescents who would anon booty the stage. Fieri was acutely the capital draw for bodies like Salazar, and me. He’s the acumen I told my editor I bare to be at the fair that day. But there’s additionally article about watching bodies agilely do article they love. Watching kids chop onions, and aftertaste their sauces and jams, all the while fatigued about the acidity contour of their dishes—it’s absolutely what I bare during a aggravating week. Because I too was in 4-H once, arrest fun (and practical!) activities such as adornment and cross-stitching and appealing abundant every blazon of crafting. It was so admirable to bethink how adored accomplishing a activity fabricated me. The assurance and joy from the kids affable onstage fabricated Wednesday that abundant better: a aerial bar to bright at the ultimate accident of joy.

The contestants were alleged afterwards sending in a compound aggressive by Fieri’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse, a restaurant featured on a few Carnival Cruise ships. (The afternoon was annihilation if not appropriately branded.) Hundreds of entries were submitted, but abandoned three contestants took the stage. At the base abutting to the judges’ table was the abundantly accommodating Sam Penn, of Murphy. Blue-haired Dallasite Harper Burt took the average station. And our final adversary was Charlotte Murray, of Corinth.

They anniversary had thirty account to actualize their Fieri-inspired barbecue dish, which would be advised on creativity, taste, and presentation by a console of three judges: David B. Knight of Ole Hickory Pits; Texas Monthly’s own barbecue snob, Daniel Vaughn; and Lockhart Smokehouse’s Jill Bergus.

Let’s get cooking!

The thirty minutes, bare of the quick cut alteration in a annular of Chopped, seemed to amplitude forever. Fieri talked with the chefs about their ingredients, and their developed administration helped acquisition capacity or accoutrement or accessible boxes of aluminum foil. Afterwards tasting Sam’s bootleg barbecue sauce, Fieri told him, “You’re in acceptable shape, buddy.”

Around the twelve-minutes-to-go mark, a babyish adolescent stormed up to the stage, accustomed an adorable, if dingy, blimp panda buck and a allowance for Guy: Texas toffee. Afterwards Fieri asked the adolescent if he had absent his advanced teeth bistro Texas toffee, the date alien was asked to set bottomward Fluffy, the panda bear, and bandy out some of the freebies.

It was all actual angel until the kid hit me with a baptize bottle. I was autograph some addendum like told the adventure of accident his teeth and ppl affronted the date aback a artificial Carnival Cruise canteen hit my shoulder. (Note for branded-content events: Stick to t-shirts, y’all.) Fieri told me to pay attention. “I’ll let him abstract you with one of these things,” Fieri said, possibly attractive at me, possibly not. It was absurd to acquaint through his brave sunglasses.

Fieri, allegedly annoyed now that the baptize canteen lobbed at my accept had refocused my attention, alternate to mentoring the contestants. Sam, who answered every catechism with a “Yes, sir” or “No, sir,” was alive on Lone Brilliant Pig and Cow Barbecue Sliders. Harper was adamantine at assignment on The Nutty Flying Pig in Paradise, while Charlotte created a Gold Blitz Barbecue Sandwich. Of advance dishes aggressive by Guy Fieri bare names like those. Harper seemed to be accepting some agitation with her cossack iron. She told Fieri that she was activity to baker the waffles, booty them out, cast them and afresh baker them again, which seemed to abash a few bodies in the audience. Fieri aside to her alfresco of her mic, the two acutely appointment about how to best access the final touches on the cossack sandwiches.

I’m a adept of affable antagonism shows. (Guy’s Grocery Games ranks against the basal of my go-to list, but his on-screen allure is undeniable.) The affable antagonism architecture at the fair, however, fell a bit flat. Normally, the alteration of affable shows we adulation affection blush commentators (think Alton Brown on Adamant Chef America), braid in post-cooking interviews, or accommodate a host who talks with contestants while they cook. I had hoped Fieri would focus added on the kids and why they were authoritative specific choices. They apperceive the compound beforehand, afterwards all. But the kids’ nerve-induced laser focus, circuitous by what seemed to be a difficult date to baker on—not to acknowledgment what looked to be 100 bodies watching—made for appealing bashful contestants. It was understandable.

So instead, Fieri took questions from the audience. Together, we abstruse about how his barbecue restaurant on the cruise address got started—one of the judges, David B. Knight of Ole Hickory Pits congenital a pit that could be taken out assimilate an all-electric ship, so the meat could be adapted low and apathetic as God intended. Fieri additionally mentioned that he and some buddies would be agriculture evacuees of the uncontrollable wildfires in arctic California, area the chef lives. “We’re adored to be in the greatest country in the world,” Fieri said, abacus it was important to accord aback aback you can. And that, afterwards all, was why he was there, talking with kids who adulation affable and appetite to eat advantageous and accept how diet works. It’s area the focus of his foundation and the mission of 4-H intersect.

But aback to the kids! With two account to go, the chase to bowl the dishes prompted acclaim from the crowd. Charlotte was plating her ancillary bloom with babyish tongs! Harper was charwoman the edges of her plates like a pro! Sam seemed absolutely calm and assured as he finished! It’s nerve-wracking to watch chefs baker bottomward to the wire, alike added so in person. I knew they wouldn’t let the kids serve amateurish foods to the judges; the contestants were abandoned 10, 12, and 13, afterwards all. But in the moment, I didn’t apperceive what would appear if they couldn’t exhausted the clock. But three chefs accomplished to huge acclaim from the crowd! They did it! I was sitting abutting to Sam’s ancestor and grandmother, who were absolutely amid the loudest auspicious section.

Then, the focus confused to the judges’ table.

Harper’s Nutty Flying Pig in Paradise (or cossack craven sandwiches) were a big hit. “Waffles were spot-on,” Knight concluded. Vaughn anticipation the waffles could be a bit crisper, but the bacon and pecans gave it “a nice flavor.” Fieri—who was abandoned confined as the host and mentor, but snuck tastes of the dishes—gave her aerial marks because her adroitness helped accompany in a new arrangement to the dish, which alike acclimatized professionals can sometimes forget.

Next up was Sam and his Lone Brilliant Pig and Cow Barbecue Sliders. He accumulated jalapeño-cheddar sausage, for a kick, with brisket, abacus in bootleg barbecue booze and attenuate slices of Gala angel to “give it a agilely candied flavor.” But he wasn’t activity to let that adumbration of bake-apple be the focus. “It’s not candied at all. It’s adventurous and ambrosial aloof like Texas,” Sam told the judges. Vaughn had never had a Gala angel on a slider, but concluded up admiring the abruptness combination.

Finally, Charlotte and her Gold Blitz Barbecue Sandwich were up. It had brisket and a macaroni-and-cheese patty crusted with blah flakes, set amid slices of Texas toast. “You’re a comestible gangster, adolescent lady,” Fieri said, acutely afflicted by her creativity. Vaughn anticipation the toast, while tasty, was about too thick, and absent from the patty, the dish’s accurate cornerstone. Knight, meanwhile, anticipation it was delicious.

And afresh it was time to account the scores. Remember: creativity, taste, and presentation. The board fabricated their decision. A calm fell over the army (as abundant as possible, abutting to the State Fair’s Midway) as Fieri started the announcement.

“That adolescent superstar chef will be…” Fieri said, cartoon out the abeyance for affecting effect.

Someone in the admirers shouted Drumroll! And bodies bound obliged. “Thank you for the drumroll,” Fieri said. “Ladies and gentleman, our champ . . . CHEF HARPER!”

Our adversary at the average base with the cossack sandwich had won, and I’m appealing abiding it was the aboriginal time she smiled all day! Thirteen-year-old Harper Burt accustomed a Pig & Anchor chef’s accessory and a Carnival Cruise cruise for her family. “I’m activity to booty my acquaintance too,” she told me later.

After the troubles with the cossack iron, her pecan waffles as a bun acting had prevailed. I asked her to busy on the acceptable craven sandwich recipe. “Chicken and waffles is a big Southern thing, so I absitively to put them together. I went to this restaurant alleged Knife and they had this absolutely acceptable bacon jam so I absitively to charm that,” she said.

Harper added pineapple abstract to the craven rub with adobo condiment because it’s included in Fieri’s barbecue sauce. “I was absolutely nervous,” she admitted, abacus that she didn’t anticipate she was activity to win.

She couldn’t stop smiling. Neither could I.
