New Foods at the Minnesota State Fair: What Will You Try?
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.
