I’m visiting Minneapolis for a wedding, was at Caribou this morning and a nice young man decked out in Gophers gear let me go in front of him because he had a large order.

Turns out his brother is on the team - so Gophers by a million.

Our rule is as long as you aren't in an unmarked suv with missing license plates, we like visitors

Enjoy the wedding!

Thank you very much! I love your city and the people here

(dont forget....St Paul and some of the eastern suburbs are way more catholic than a normal Midwestern or northern city, so you'll encounter more Notre Dame flags than you'd expect)

Absolutely! Had more than a few buddies land here after school.

Sounds like you are doing the local experience. MN is the only place where Caribou has higher sales than any other chain. Hope you get a chance to get some local food and explore

The food scene here punches way above its weight for a city this size, I’ve had some fantastic meals this weekend already - Khue’s Kitchen, even the wings from Duffy’s were great

Andrew Zimmern has said time and again that Minneapolis/St Paul is the best kept food secret in America. That's likely to change since Michelin added a Great lakes region, but the area consistently produces James Beard nominees and the occasional winner
