DALLAS — Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy was back in Dallas doing his viral "One Bite Review" – much like he did earlier this year for the NBA Finals when his Boston Celtics played the Mavericks – with some State Fair of Texas flair. 

Portnoy was in town attending the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but he said he'd be topping by a day early to "do infinity one bite reviews of everything" from the Fair Park grounds. 

"I'm excited and scared," Portnoy quipped in his post on X last week.

Portnoy's stay in Dallas got off to a bit of a bumpy start. He checked into the Thompson in downtown Dallas, but changed hotels in the middle of the night, moving to a JW Marriott. In a follow up video posted in the middle of the night, the Barstool owner ranted about being in "pillow hell."

When Portnoy, a noted diehard Celtics fan, came to Dallas to attend Games three and four of the NBA Finals, he tried two local pizza shops: Pizza Leila and Louie's.

The State Fair of Texas is obviously famous for its outside-the-box, supremely unique food items. Here's a list of some of the new ones coming this year.

Portnoy's reaction to these foods is sure to be top-tier entertainment. WFAA will update this story with all of his "One Bite" reviews as he posts them.
