Deep Fried Batter With Your Bagel & Cream Cheese?

Paula Deen's fried bagel

Going to Park Slope's Chipshop is like taking a little trip to a state fair where you can procure deep fried Coke and Oreos. Except this place will go even further, and will fry anything—there's even a deep fried Atkins bar on the menu, and legend has it they once deep fried someone's birthday cake. So when someone at the Daily News recently had a craving for a deep fried bagel and cream cheese, they knew where to go.

Owner, Russell Knight (who has somehow managed to live to 40-years-old) told them, "If it tastes good, it tastes a damn sight better fried." Was that the case with the fried bagel and cream cheese? We may never know! The paper essentially lets us eavesdrop in on their order, then shockingly leaves out any commentary, photos or description! Pics or it didn't happen, Daily News.

Alas, the hungry masses are left to wonder if this would be a good, or bad bagel order. (Luckily, Paula Deen's got us covered.)

No, wait, I want to deep fry this dead mouse I found stuck to the glue trap.

I know a whole person won't fit in the fryer, but how about this severed human head?

I want to deep fry edible underwear to wear while I eat.

I had deep fried Ice Cream at a Mexican spot once and it was delicious but I can't remember who or where the spot is located. Anybody know a good spot for deep friend Ice Cream?

For anyone wondering how its done they apparently freeze the Ice Cream then coat it with corn chips or something before frying it. It's delicious!

The fried pickles next door at Corner Burger are pretty damn good too.

The real question is, did they have to pay an additional tax for the deep frying?

State Fairs every year, they have a deep fried contest and pick winners, last year Texas "Fernie's Deep Fried Peaches & Cream" and "Deep Fried Butter" were announced as the winners in the 5th...

deep fried butter? does butter solidify?

i mean, i'm all for it -- yum.

krinkle cut fires

the trick is to freeze the butter first so it stays gooey when it comes out of the fryer...

Guest

oh, don't encourage me. i may die trying. haha

I've always wanted to try a good deep-fried knish rather than the baked ones you find in all the delis.

I remember going to that one and my friend ordering a deep-fried oreo.

is that place supposed to have British style food or state fair food?
