How to make a deep fried Twinkie

by Matt Marquardt –

MASON CITY – Troy Levenhagen of the famous Suzie Q restaurant is one of the few local vendors participating in this year’s Band Fest in East Park, and he is serving some crowd favorites that the locals ask for.

“The deep fried Twinkie is hot right now,” Troy said (pictured, holding one), not to mention his award winning tenderloins.

I asked him how he makes the deep fried Twinkies, since I’ve heard of them being served at the Iowa State Fair but never tried one, nor seen one.

“Come on in here and let me  show you,” Troy exclaimed as only he can.

Rather than explain all the details, take a peek at the video below, as Troy personally demonstrates how he makes deep fried Twinkies and Oreos… both are delicious and available all weekend for just $3.
