Taste of Minnesota off to delicious start
With so many different options to choose from at the festival, we asked attendees what they liked.
MINNEAPOLIS — The first day of Taste of Minnesota kicked off Saturday in Minneapolis.
Thousands flooded into downtown, sampling from more than 50 food trucks.
But it’s not just yummy eats. Thirty bands will play this weekend on stages across five different “neighborhoods.”
Last year, organizers said there were around 120,000 people in attendance. This year, they say they’ve doubled most everything in the event to meet demand.
With so many different options to choose from at the festival, we asked attendees what they liked.
“This is not your typical tamale,” said Ken as he munched on one from the Chef Shack. “It tastes fantastic; the beans are fresh, the meat is fresh.”
Meanwhile, Emily was advocating for a fish from Ono Hawaiian Plates.
“Oh, my goodness,” she said after the first bite of poke nachos. “It’s not so heavy like some other things around here.”
Remy swears by the burgers at Parlour.
“It’s flavorful,” he said. “Doesn’t need anything else.”
Taste of Minnesota continues Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
