    Wow, thanks for noticing little ole SippitySup.com! I feel honored. And guess what I’ll be in the Twin Cities for 2 hours on Aug 25. Sadly I will not be able to leave the airport. Is there any Minnesota-ean must not miss foods at the airport? GREG

    Hey, no problem!

    While the food at MSP is hardly representative of the culinary prowess and diversity available in the greater Twin Cities (and Minnesota on a whole), you can still avoid the McDonalds in favor of something a little bit better :) I usually stop at D’Amico & Sons (a local chain featuring reasonably priced Italian-themed pasta salads and sandwiches; the original higher-end D’Amico Cucina recently closed and the group is now taking over Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s old space at the Chambers Hotel) or French Meadow Bakery, another Minnesotan staple that features locally made organic baked goods.

    Hope you have a good flight!
