Andrew Zimmern’s Top 5 Minnesota State Fair Foods

My most frequently asked question has to be: "Andrew Zimmern, what is the best thing to eat at the Minnesota State Fair?" It's a really tough question to answer, there are too many great options. Alas, I've tried to dwindle it down to a few items you should absolutely not miss.

I live in Pennsylvania. My 99lbs little brother every year goes to the potato stand and gets the 2lb Bucket O Fries. He saves the plastic buckets as trophies.

You are a true ambassador of Minnesota, thank you !!

Sweet Martha's cookies has to be the most popular stand at the fair.
Who wants some of those cookies ✋✋✋

I LOVE the Gizmo sandwich! Also good is the London Broil steak sandwich by the Grandstand, Mancini's steak sandwich, and crab cakes from Caribe Grill. You're exactly right on the location for the footlong dog, too. I won't get one anywhere you mention Kiwanis Malts in the video but the video shows a DIFFERENT vendor, not the Kiwanis location. I'll be at the fair this weekend AND next weekend. TIME TO EAT!

I love the Gizmo, but Sweet Martha's cookies are a hard pass for me. They taste like someone made the Tollhouse Cookie recipe but used Red Owl brand chocolate chips.

Every year I have to get Hawaiian shaved ice, pronto pup (way better than a corn dog) chocolate covered key lime pie, And this year I’m excited to try the rainbow cloud roll

I work at Smokey's Charbroiler, Barb's other trailer after Cinnie's. Seeing you at the fair has been great!

I had the Gizmo sandwich based off your recommendation 2 years ago. It wasn’t that great. 😔
