Today the Star Tribune ran a story on the 25 foods that should be in a Minnesota State Fair food hall of fame. I really enjoy reading and admire Joy Summers and Sharyn Jackson, but having an inaugural class of 25 seems too large to me. Here would be my ballot choices for the founding class (in my preferred order):

• Pronto Pup
• Fresh French Fries
• Corn Roast
• Danielson’s and Daughters Onion Rings
• Dairy Goodness Malts
• Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar
• Tom Thumb Mini-Donuts

Let’s start with seven and see where we go from here…
