Look out Chicago Hot Dog, Minneapolis Has Created Their Own
The next time you make a trip up the the twin cities, make a trip over to Fridley, Minnesota and try a hot dog that will blow your taste buds away. The Twin Cities has created a rival to the Chicago style hot dog. It’s called the Minneapolis dog.
Its basically a Tater tot hot dish on a hot dog. Brian Brown, Founder of Ingredient, came up with this crazy concoctions while dinner at Uncle Franky's in Fridley and some one there was having a Coney Island hot dog and someone else was having a Chicago style hot dog and his team thought to themselves, "Why not make a Minneapolis Hot Dog."
