Minneapolis Restauranteur Reflects on the Minnesota State Fair and Gears Up for Big Plans - Eater Twin Cities

"Funky Grits, owned by Jared Brewington in Minneapolis, had a successful first year at the Minnesota State Fair. Known for its shrimp fritters with Cry Baby Craig’s hot sauce, the vendor stand was a highlight in the Food Building. Brewington meticulously prepared for the fair, ensuring efficiency and quick service despite minor hiccups. The restaurant is temporarily closed for recovery post-fair and plans to reopen with new menu items and an interior overhaul, focusing on customizable bowls. Media outlets and local politicians praised the stand, contributing to its success." - Matt Gundrum
