Minnesota Fair Food Tested Hard | Duluth News

The Minnesota State Fair just ended, and the Star Tribune’s food squad—led by Sharyn Jackson—ate their way through over 100 new food items in just 12 hours, clocking in at roughly 14,000 steps. Their mission? To cut through the chaos and tell you exactly what’s worth your time (and money). From surprising hits to questionable flops, they sampled it all, even hitting a “brick wall” midway. This wasn’t casual snacking—it was a strategic tasting tour designed to help you navigate the fair’s culinary overload without the food coma. While politics still made headlines, this year’s real buzz was the epic food challenge—and now you get the verdict without lifting a fork.
