50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Corn Dogs from Minnesota
Forget fancy chefs and Michelin stars; the corn dog’s origin story is as American as apple pie. Some say it came from Texas in the 1920s, but Minnesota adopted it like a lost puppy and made it its own. The Pronto Pup, a chain synonymous with corn dogs, started slinging these golden beauties at the Minnesota State Fair in 1947.
It could be the sweet, slightly crunchy batter or the way they sizzle on the grill, filling the air with that irresistible carnival aroma. Whatever it is, there’s something uniquely magical about biting into a Minnesota corn dog.
