2009 MN State Fair Food Finder
The MN State Fair has finally updated their online Food Finder. And, as usual, the early press reports from a few weeks ago left out some of the more interesting new treats: chocolate-covered watermelon on-a-stick; Funnel Cake Fries (funnel cake formed like french fries and served with chocolate dipping sauce); a new Harry Singh's Carribbean booth in the Food Building; and beignets at the Ragin' Cajun. Seventy-five listings for the "on-a-stick" category, and 85 listings when you search the keyword "cheese"!
Help needed finding baby shower restaurant
Throwing a baby shower for my sister who requested it be "just a small, intimate girlie get together midweek at a restaurant around 3pm." There will be 6 adults 2 schoolage kids and 2 toddlers attending. Any suggestions for a middle of the road priced restuarant with great service/food?? Most guests live in northern metro so that would be ideal location. Thanks in advance!

Eating Locally
The Corner Table prints a letter discussing whether or not local eating should be dismissed as a fad: The point of this article for me is to get people to stop talking about if this is a fad or not, and go on hard facts. One fact: this is not something new. This idea of eating locally has been around forever. it had a lot to do with how this country was founded and how this country ran for a very long time.
Stop Taking Pictures of Our Food
Local photographer Deke reports in his blog about an unusual encounter he had in a local restuarant when he decided to snap some photos of the food her was eating. An employee approached him, rather aggressively, about his camera: At this point I was approached by an employee, I can only assume she was the manager that day, who asked what I was taking pictures of. I thought I was pretty straight-forward with her explaining that I was taking a picture of my lunch. She asked, "Why?"

MSPmag's Adam Platt locates the best NYC sandwiches
Food critic, Adam Platt, contributes this piece to New York magazine: a slideshow titled Heaven On Bread. He tracks down the eight best-tasting, best-looking sandwiches in the whole of Manhattan.
My vote goes to either the House-smoked BLT or the Cuban. If we knew what was good for us here in flyover-land, we'd be enjoying these marvelous creations, too, and depart permanently from our white bread existence.
