State Plate

Minnesota

Entertainer Taylor Hicks tastes his way across Minnesota on a quest to assemble a plate of the state’s most iconic foods. First, he forages for a hidden treasure, morel mushrooms. Next, he heads to one of the famous ten thousand lakes in pursuit of walleye, the official state fish. Then, he learns to make two traditional dishes: a casserole-style meal known as “hot dish,” and a Norwegian flatbread called “lefse.” Finally, he visits the birthplace of the Bundt cake. It’s a heaping helping of Minnesota cuisine filled with the stories and legends behind the North Star State’s most delectable foods..
