Here's The Best Food & Drink In Minnesota For 2019

MINNESOTA — With 2018 behind us, it's time to start planning your 2019 culinary bucket list. The good folks at The Daily Meal website, who analyze all things related to eating and drinking, have been using their taste buds all year to determine the best places to get everything from pizza and Chinese food to burritos, brunch and beer.

They've compiled their wisdom into the annual guide to the best food and drink across the country.

Many of these spots that offer up the tastiest eats across the United States are right here in Minnesota.

"Minnesotans are perhaps best known for their niceness, a trait supposedly derived from the Gopher State’s nineteenth-century Nordic settlers," The Daily Meal writes.

"This benign pleasantness is reflected in many of the foods typically associated with the state, often warm, comforting casseroles or rich cheeses from the Land of 10,000 Lakes’ productive dairy farms. But the North Star State has a bright culinary scene featuring styles both traditionally Minnesotan and less so."

Whether it's fine dining or a casual burger you crave, here are some highlights of the best food and drink in the state:

• Best Burger: Matt’s Bar, Minneapolis
• Best Cupcake: Cupcake, Eagan
• Best French Fries: Meritage, Saint Paul
• Best Italian Restaurant: Broder’s Pasta Bar, Minneapolis
