  • As the world’s most common food staple, rice is rarely a celebrity on the plate by itself. Which is why for this episode of Food/Groups, we went to a place where it is. The Star of the North: Minnesota.
    The Land of 10,000 Lakes is also the land of wild rice -- a naturally occurring aquatic grass that’s knocked, finished, and sold by Native Americans whose ancestors have crisscrossed these waters in canoes doing more or less the very same thing for generations. And while legit hand-picked wild rice can get expensive, it’s an edible through-line that connects Minnesota’s pristine past with its modern culinary future. Which, when you think about it, is kinda wild.

    A little info for people who are grossed out by the worms:
    Before being sold, the rice is dried, cleaned of worms, and toasted so that the husks and any other grossness is removed. I can't guarantee it doesn't have a bug or two, but certainly no more than most food products (let a bag of flour sit open at room temp for a while and see what happens). From every bag I've had, I've only seen uniform rice, no weird extra thick "grains" or anything suspicious.

    I've been to Minneapolis three times and ate very well indeed. Had a couple of Jucy Lucys of course and looked for tater tot hotdishes but never thought about chasing down some wild rice...not sure I had any actually. Shoot. Extremely interesting episode. Native American youth substance abuse is well known but never considered the labor implication with respect to tribal traditions/restrictions. Well done, Thrillist.

      The food in Minneapolis blew us away, honestly. Not that we were expecting anything less, but it was just so consistently impressive. And yes -- the substance abuse, coupled with the draw of personal technology, and the gaming business, has definitely had a widespread impact on the lives of this generation of Ojibwe. It's a fraught topic for sure, and we were wary of glazing over it too much. Glad it got you thinking a bit! Thanks for watching & commenting.

    Hey Everyone, check out our recent episode:
    Tampa Bay's Iconic Cuban Sandwich - czcams.com/video/QPPOxMzNXEk/video.html
    When you think about Cubans in Florida, you probably don’t think of Tampa. But you should! Sure, today, Miami has the biggest concentration of Cuban-Americans in the state -- and the country, for that matter. But back before Miami was even a city, it was here, in Tampa, that the cigar industry boomed and the iconic Cuban sandwich was born.
    You know: soft Cuban bread, shredded pork, glazed ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and -- as is custom ONLY in Tampa -- Genoa salami. And while Miami basks in its well-deserved reputation as the epicenter of modern Cuban America, 400,000 Tampans patiently wait for their town to get its historic Cubano due. So we came to Cigar City to do just that.
