Is the a difference between "fried" and "deep fried"?
I'm listening to the coverage of the OU-Texas game, and every item the announcers describe from the Midway is "deep fried". What does that mean?

Frying includes lots of different kinds of frying, like sweating, sauteing, shallow-frying, and deep-frying. Basically it means cooking in some kind of fat (such as oil).
Deep-frying is the kind where the food is fully submerged in the hot oil. Usually it is done at a high temperature for a short time.

Well, deep frying means that you don't have to turn the meat over like just frying on the stove. I don't know if you mean as far as taste goes or not but I know some people that can fry on the stove in a cast iron skillet that will make deep frying taste like garbage! (Fried pan catfish) plus takes up more oil

Basically deep fried is where a basket of cut chips go into a deep fryer.
Shallow fry is when there is about 6mm oil is in a fry-pan for most things and require turning mid way.
Healthy frying is when you use the least amount of oil possible.

Yes there is....
"Deep-fried" does indeed call for the immersion of the food item into hot liquid fat (such as oil, melted shortening, lard, or some other cooking fat).
"Fried" does not call for a full immersion and simply has a small layer of that melted fat. Often times, "fried" can also use butter, but for "deep fried" butter is never used because it also contains water.
