Lobster on a cheeseburger?? NEW MINNESOTA STATE FAIR FOOD: Surf & Turf Burger at Cafe Caribe. Expected to hate it - didn’t. No the burger wasn’t seasoned enough, the cheese and the sauce and the lobster was all a lot, but am I crazy to feel like it tasted ok? #mnstatefair #newfairfood $15.
How long is the wait in the blocks-long line at @peacheysbakingco at the Minnesota State Fair? I WAS SHOCKED! I heard they doubled their donut-making capacity but I still couldn’t believe how short the wait was in this massive line. DONT BE INTIMIDATED! And ooooh is it worth it!!!

Sitting at the bar at @butcherandboar with an old friend who’s killing it in his career >
The long rib and old fashioned is still perfection.
What do you crave at @dianesplacemn? Today for me it was the spam and nori croissant but I love literally everything on @pastrydiane’s menu. If you can’t get a reservation / I just walked in and grabbed a seat at the bar.
Minneapolis restaurant pop-up alert: JOOK SING is a hidden gem, but these two chefs are well-known Minnesota talents. Go to Steady Pour where they are in residency - get the beef tartare, the cucumber salad on tofu whip, xoxo beef chow fun where the noodles are stacked pave-style, and the orange chicken with such a bright and tasty sauce.
