  • About
Deep-fried Twinkies are a relatively recent addition to the Twinkie canon. Restaurateur Christopher Sell is credited with concocting this delicacy in early 2001. The native of Rugby, England, is the proprietor of the fish-and-chips restaurant Chipshop, in Brooklyn, New York. The shop was selling fried candy bars such as Mars Bars and Snickers, a long-time treat in Scotland. To pass the time one evening, Sell and his coworkers began tossing random junk food items into the shopโ€™s industrial deep fryer and found that the Twinkie worked well as a fried treat.
