The “Caribbean Pineapple Korn-A-Copia” was a finalist in the 2016 Big Tex Choice Awards at the State Fair of Texas, created by Stephen Alade. This dish brings Caribbean flavors to the fair with marinated grilled chicken and shrimp served on yellow Caribbean fried rice, topped with tropical salsa and pineapple rum glaze—all presented in a pineapple half shell. Described as a summery taste of island life, the dish stands out for its creativity, visual appeal, and the use of fresh, flavorful ingredients. Notably, it was recognized for being both savory and relatively healthier compared to typical fair foods.
