300 CONCESSION STANDS AND LOTS OF FOOD

The Minnesota State Fair features approximately 500 foods at 300 concession stands at various locations throughout the fairgrounds. Everywhere you look; food! It's always a matter of how much you have to spend, how many calories you'll allow yourself to eat, and what you're going to try, since you can't make room for everything.

  • PEPPERONI CHIPS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER QUESO:  This sounds interesting, doesn't it? Like someone thought to themselves...what can I create for next year that they just can't say no to?  Fried pepperoni chips served with warm roasted red pepper cheese sauce.
