2007 MN State Fair: Couldn’t Try Everything
My stomach and I are only human, so even on three trips to the fair this year I couldn’t try everything. I also didn’t make it to the Fine Arts building. Foodwise, I found both winners and losers, but here are some of Rick Nelson’s 2007 picks that I’ll check out next year in their sophomore outings:
**** (four stars)
- Alderman plums, Midtown Global Market, Cosgrove St. between Dan Patch Av. and Wright Av.
- Buttermilk scones with jam, Country Scones & Coffee, Food Building
- Lingonberry Turnovers, Lingonberry Ice Cream, Underwood St. and Carnes Av.
- Strawberry and chocolate ice cream sodas, Bridgeman’s, Judson Av. and Liggett St.
- Strawberry malts, Dairy Goodness Bar, Empire Commons
I’ll also try for a pork chop on a stick. I’ve only heard superlative things about them from my carnivorous friends.
