Minnesota State Fair WATCH NOW Leader in downtown Cambridge YOUR OWN FOOD CRAWL AT THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR Butter sculpture, crop art, and giant slides aside, anyone who has been to the beloved event in the lead up to Labor Day knows it’s one of the country’s most rewarding food and drink experiences. Sure, there’s a lot of fried classics, but the fair is a welcome celebration of the many cultural groups that make our state so distinct and diverse. Where else would you be able to snack on lutefisk steam buns, best-in-class sambusas, masala-stuffed dosas and walleye on a stick? As Hon said with a smile during his visit, “only in Minnesota.” Other stops on Claire and Ben’s trip include brunching at Leader , a historic department store in Cambridge; guided mushroom foraging in the forests of Eveleth; and moseying through Minneapolis’ historic Mill District.
