What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's Minnesota State Fair episode featured Lulu's Public House, a fairgrounds restaurant known in 2026 for its Pickle Pie, a savory pickle-and-cream-cheese pie topped with a ranch-based filling, alongside its broader pub-style menu. Lulu's operates at the fair's West End Market, south of the Schilling Amphitheater, and is the only restaurant at the Minnesota State Fair with a second-level patio, where fairgoers can eat and drink with a view. According to the Minnesota State Fair's own vendor listing, the restaurant kept 2026 hours of 7am to 10:30pm, with breakfast service from 7 to 10:30am, and accepted credit cards, cash, and Apple Pay. The listing also noted vegetarian and gluten-friendly options and specialty drinks from Fair State Brewing and Pen Name Fermentation Project. Google Places separately shows the business's status as temporarily closed, consistent with normal between-seasons status for a fairgrounds-only vendor.
