Counting the ballots…
“Iconic. Obama sought it out. It has to be at Matt’s Bar. A must stop that does it their way. Always a line for a reason. Be careful of the molten cheese!”
“It was between the Juicy Lucy and the Tator Tot Hotdish- but you listed that as having corn in it which is SO WRONG.”
“It's best when freshly caught from one of the many lakes across the state. I maje the best beer battered walleye. Beats the greasy Juicy Lucy every single restaurant makes.”
“Wild rice is iconic to Minnesota and our great Native American heritage. Everyone makes it great. I make a turkey wild rice soup with Thanksgiving leftovers and it is to die for!”
“A cheeseburger with cheese inside the patty is genius. The best place to get it is The Nook in St. Paul. I've been eating there since I was 17 and it always delivers.”
Minnesota's ballot is mostly served in a church basement. Tater Tot Hotdish and Wild Rice Soup feed the room, while Glorified Rice, Sheet-Pan Bars, and Bundt Cake cover the dessert table, the pan itself having been invented in Minneapolis. Lefse and Lutefisk are the Norwegian inheritance, argued over every December. Iron Range Porketta gets shredded onto rolls up north. Walleye comes off the lake. And the Juicy Lucy hides its cheese inside the patty. What Minnesota is famous for arrives in a casserole dish, warm. So what is Minnesota's official state dish? Ten dishes are on the ballot.
