"Around here, it’s “duck, duck, gray duck.” This downtown restaurant recently doubled down on its Minnesota dedication with a new menu that includes all kinds of nods to the state’s cuisine including a chicken wrap served in lefse, a turkey leg like a self-contained Thanksgiving dinner, and what is currently ranked as the best restaurant hotdish around." - Joy Summers
