Tara's Fried Dough is Boston's favorite purveyor of fried goodies, bar none. And it has been since 1984. If longevity doesn't speak to their success, their famed fair fare certainly does, a cart that's made a name for itself with its elephant ears. What's that? Never had an elephant ear? Well, listen up. Tara's Fried Dough's got 'em in spades, a fresh cut of fried dough nearly the size of an elephant's ear. Hence the namesake, and hence why it's so delicious, smattered in powdered sugar to add to the sweetness. But that's not all. Tara's Fried Dough also features other fried goodies like deep fried oreos, along with icy cold drinks to wash the sweetness down. They're just sweet like that. So why wait until the summer carnival comes along? Instead, find Tara's Fried Dough in Boston, or have the cart out to cater your next event. Trust us. They aim to please, and hit the mark every time. MUST TRY
