Hey so guess what? Hotdish may get ballzed up on spellcheck, but it is an actual Minnesota thing- and these actual Minnesota home cooks were tot-deep in it!!!! So rad to see so many different interps of the classic local casserole- everyone had a blown mind, of course. And don’t get me started on the bars. There’s not enough laps around a track to make my body forget those yummy bars!!!! Thanks to all the beautiful home cooks of the Twin Cities, and O’Gara’s– which is such a rad bar and venue!!!! I’ll be back!!!
