Announcing Our New MN State Fair Foods for 2022!

Vegan Meatballs & Marinara - French Meadow MN State Fair 2022

July 12, 2022:  We've been dying to tell, but couldn't say a peep until the Minnesota State Fair made the official announcement this morning...  now that our lips are unsealed, we can share French Meadow's two official new  State Fair foods for 2022, which are both vegan. (Not to brag, but there's a reason we were voted Best Vegan in Mpls St. Paul Magazine's recent Readers Poll!)  And lest you think we stopped at only two, read on below to see many more new creations we're debuting at the fair this year.  

STATE FAIR OPENING DAY SPECIAL AUGUST 25: COMPLIMENTARY PEOPLE'S ORGANIC COFFEE WITH ANY PURCHASE

"MEAT" BALLS & MARINARA  vegan
Italian herb-seasoned "meat" balls, sautéed in our signature house-made garlic & oregano marinara sauce, topped with house-made (of course!), plant-based Parmesan "cheese" and fresh parsley, served with a warm, grilled slice of French Meadow's famous sourdough bread, so you can soak up every last bit of that sauce.  

EARTH SLIDERS vegan
We hereby declare that vegans have WON the "chicken sandwich wars" with these plant-based mini delights. We've created a delectible crispy fried "chicken" -- marinated, battered, and fried to perfection -- and topped with house-made pickles spiced with turmeric, garlic, and onion, a spicy secret sauce, and shredded lettuce, served on grilled slider-size buns.

CINNAMON TWIST - all-butter croissant-roll rolled up in organic raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla pastry cream, with cardamon syrup and icing.  Tip: this is not for sharing, because you'll want it all for yourself. Really.
