If you’re looking for exhaustive and without-fear-or-favor writeups of the new foods and drinks of the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, hang tight and hit our Substack page Friday, Aug. 27 at 7am for a comprehensive, if not exhaustive, update for our 14-person team. Paying subscribers get the full scoop right away (plus constant updates about Upper Midwestern food and drink), but we’ll post the whole piece next week Wednesday for everyone curious. Cheers and stick with us for some great (and notably NOT great) bites and sips. – The Heavy Table
