Great American Food Cities

FEATURING MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL - The Cuisine Scene’s Twice as Nice in the Twin Cities

Minnesota’s adjacent cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul boast a rich culinary landscape going far beyond Prince’s favorite foods. There’s an obsession with state fair fare—that you can only get in this region. There’s also the famed Jucy Lucy burger oozing with cheese. And, of course, there are the talented chefs and restaurateurs embracing the local foodstuffs and featuring them on menus. They are finally getting their due, which means it’s time to take you on a journey through yet another Great American Food City.
