\"deepfriedtwinkies\"The entire L.A. County Fair family would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian and Dawn Clasen – who are getting married tomorrow, April 25. Chicken Charlie is\u00a0 the Deep-Fry King at fairs throughout the region. He is the one who comes up with the deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried frog legs and last year’s deep-fried Pop Tarts. Basically, he’ll deep fry anything if you’ll eat it. So, as one more deep-fried bachelor bites the dusty powdered sugar, we take a look back at one of our favorite people in the whole wide oil-splattered world – Chicken Charlie:
\nThere once was a man named Chicken Charlie\"charlie\"
\nWhose whole existence was frying up things gnarly
\nHe trailered his deep-fried treats from Fair to Fair
\nConcocting unusual menu items from his lair
\nDeep-fried Snickers – always a treat
\nLet’s try something new –\u00a0deep-fried Spam with pineapples can’t be beat
\nDeep-fried cookies, Coke, candy bars and Hostess snacks kept his eye
\nUntil, one day, Dawn walked by
\nChicken Charlie thought, “Now, there is something I can’t deep fry.”
\nBut, wait, he thought, maybe I can try.
\nTrue love blossomed, with no canola oil involved
\nTwo hearts together, this love cannot be dissolved
\nNot by frying or battering or chocolate sauce
\nCharlie and Dawn, a greater love is hard to come across
\nChicken Charlie is loving life
\nHe now has a Deep-Fried Wife!
\nCongratulations to our friend Charlie and his lovely bride Dawn! May you find many deep-fried blessings!
\nIn case you haven’t seen it, here is Chicken Charlie in action at last year’s L.A. County Fair:
