As the celebrity chef says, "If it looks good, eat it." Everything looks good at this food truck's counter, including the crispy pork belly with spicy slaw and a Korean fried chicken sandwich. The cucumber mint lemonade with optional vodka. [Section 119]

Kramarczuck's

It's no wonder this Northeast restaurant was honored with a James Beard Award for being a cujlassic. The times may change, but the sausages remain as snappy, juicy and perfectly seasoned as ever. Digging into one while watching the Twins take the field is just about our definition of a perfect Minneapolis day. [Section 112, 117, and 312, Delta SKY 360, Legends Club]

Izzy's Ice Cream

Izzy’s [Official]

We don't care if it's sun, rain or snow: if it's game day, there better be ice cream. No one scoops up the creamy decadence quite like the inventors of the Izzy scoop (that's a tiny, extra ice cream scoop that crowns each order.) [Section 114]

Red Cow

The 60/40 burger (that's a burger with bacon ground into the patty with cheese and more bacon on top) is one of the most popular menu items at the three restaurant locations and it tastes even better at the ballgame. [Section 126]
