Go Fork Yourself: Lobster Roll Mania, the Tesla Diner and the Ketchup Smoothie
Plus: Should you stock up on spices ahead of looming tariffs? And I'll tell you all about my favorite signature Minnesota dishes.
Today’s newsletter includes:
a food-related reading list that’ll teach you about everything from Maine lobster to the ramen burger, with a quick trip to the (yes, you’re reading this correctly) Tesla Diner
my thoughts on ingredient prices and whether you should stock up as tariffs loom
a tour of Minnesota’s signature dishes, including one of my personal favorites, which includes chili, hot dogs, an onion and (if you’re lucky) cornbread
Great news, Spilled Milkers: “The Blue Food Cookbook” is available for preorder. It’s a celebration of fish and shellfish and will be your seafood bible.
Preorder it today through Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon or your favorite local bookstore.
So much to discuss this week. We’ve got a writer who tried every protein snack she could get her hands on, the lobster roll boom in Maine and my advice and thoughts as looming tariffs could make ingredients much more expensive. Tons of great reader questions await you at the end of the video, too.
