Hotdish

Uh, you run a number of races in Minnesota.

We've got Granny's Gravel Grinder, The Hot Dish, The Dam, Filthy Fifty.

I did Granny's Gravel Grinder.

I shout out to your grandma.

At The Dam, I want, like, a post-race meal next year.

At the Filthy Fifty, people get a free drink at the brewery.

And at The Hot Dish, you get hot dish at the end of it.

Minnesota's food identity blends hearty Midwestern comfort with genuine Scandinavian roots passed down through generations.

Hot Dish, a baked casserole combining meat, vegetables, and a starch, remains a beloved potluck staple found at gatherings across the entire state.

Walleye, pulled from the state's countless lakes, shows up fried at supper clubs and lakeside restaurants everywhere you go.

The Juicy Lucy, a cheese-stuffed burger invented in Minneapolis, remains a genuinely messy, beloved local specialty worth the napkins.
