Video: Behind the Scenes at Lorentz Meats, a Processing Plant in Minnesota
Lorentz Meats in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, is on the small side, but it's growing. The small-is-beautiful types think Lorentz is getting too big, but the company is touted as one of the most efficient, clean, and successful processing plants in Minnesota, and widely used by small farms. I visited the plant last year. Not wanting to delve too deep into the politics of meat processing, my approach was more focused on the actual butchering process. This episode is more of an informative music video.NFL Playoffs Serious Eats-Style: Which Food Cities Rule Off the Field?

Hooray for foods on sticks! [Photographs: Lori Writer at Heavy Table] If you need direction on what to each for breakfast at the Minnesota State Fair, running from now until September 7, Heavy Table has you covered with their guide to the fair's breakfast choices.

If you can't eat it on a stick, then my goodness, why bother eating it at all? That's the genius ad campaign behind the Minnesota State Fair, which unfortunately wrapped up over Labor Day weekend. Nicknamed "The Great Minnesota Get-Together," the fair proves that even a pickle works better on a stick. If you have any sharp skewers lying around, go ahead and stickify your foods. Watch the thirty seconds of stick-bearing glory after the jump....Photo of the Day: The Home of the Silver Butter Knife Steak
Photograph from Society In Decline on Flickr It's important for us to remember our roots, and for the Silver Butter Knife Steak, all the history goes back to Murray's in downtown Minneapolis. When the Silver Butter Knife Steak thinks to itself, "there's no place like home," Murray's is what comes to mind. Silver Butter Knife Steak refers to the restaurant's 28-ounce strip sirloin special, priced at $89.50 and meant for two diners....Twin Burger Experiences in the Twin Cities
I flew to Minneapolis last week, and, in what could only be characterized as a total surprise, Sun Country Airlines served up an edible cheeseburger on my flight. The flight is only two and a half hours, so I was shocked we got anything beyond pretzels. The cheeseburger (right) was perfectly edible. It was basically a stripped-down McDonald's cheeseburger. In Minneapolis proper, a friend took me to 112 Eatery as part of a progressive, three-location dinner. The food at 112 Eatery was mostly very good, simple, full-flavored food skillfully cooked. Although the lamb chops in pesto sauce were very good, the best thing we put in our mouths there was a killer cheeseburger served on an English muffin. It was...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
