This Minnesota Restaurant Is Bringing Back The Old-Fashioned All-You-Can-Eat Experience

How long does a salad bar have to be before it needs its own zip code? This one stretches 50 feet, which feels less like a buffet line and more like a short scenic hike. The greens are only the opening act. Four scratch-made soups show up every day, and a hot bar changes its lineup daily with dishes like pot roast and lasagna.

Report: Minnesota owes $12,834 per resident in state, local debt

(The Center Square) – A new report from the Reason Foundation found Minnesota’s state and local governments have $73 billion in total liabilities, equivalent to $12,834 per resident. That figure is below the national average of $18,346 in per capita state and local government liabilities. “In general, Minnesota is about average, or slightly better than average, in total state and local debt,” Mariana Trujillo, managing director of government finance at Reason Foundation and co-author of the report, told The Center Square in an exclusive interview. Reason Foundation’s State and Local Government Finance Report looked at fiscal year 2024. At the end of that year, the nation’s 50 state governments reported $2.6 trillion in total debt, including $1.9 trillion in long-term debt. Connecticut, New Jersey, Hawaii, Illinois and Massachusetts ranked highest in per capita state debt. Connecticut reported $25,381 per resident, followed by New Jersey at $22,933. Minnesota ranked 32nd nationally in per capita total state debt. The states with the lowest per-capita state debt are Idaho, Indiana, South Dakota, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Utah has just $1,856 per resident, or just a fraction of Minnesota’s $4,052. Looking at state debt alone, Minnesota ranked better than most Democratic-led states, many of

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.

Somewhere in rural Wright County, a quiet patch of land fills with folding tables, rows of booths, and people carrying bags they did not plan to fill. Collectors come for vinyl records and old signs, crafters come to sell and scout, and families come for the puppies, plants, and pony rides.

This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.

Honoring a fishing and conservation legacy

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources dedicated the Tioga Public Water Access in Cohasset in memory of Tom Neustrom, a nationally recognized fishing guide, Hall of Fame angler and longtime conservation advocate who died in July 2026. Pictured at the dedication are DNR Assistant Commissioner Bob Meier, Neustrom’s wife, Renee Neustrom, and DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen. Neustrom, who made his home in the Grand Rapids area, devoted much of his life to sharing his passion for fishing and helping others experience Minnesota’s outdoors. His contributions extended beyond guiding, including serving on the DNR fishing roundtable and the State Walleye Advisory Committee and Mille Lacs Advisory Committee. He also introduced countless people to fishing through seminars, radio programs and podcasts while advocating for the conservation of Minnesota’s fisheries.
