This Wednesday, March 7th, Minnesota’s Congressional Delegation will come together for Sen. Al Franken’s second annual hotdish competition. Sen. Franken started the friendly “Hotdish Off” last year as a way to bring the delegation together to put partisanship aside and focus on Minnesota.
Each participating delegation member will submit a hot dish—traditional Minnesota fare, similar to a casserole—on behalf of their office. Former Congressmen Vin Weber (R-Minn.) and Gerry Sikorski (D-Minn.) have agreed to judge the competition for the second year in a row and Minnesota State Society member Tom Geier will tally the votes and announce the winner. Last year, Sen. Klobuchar won the competition with her now famous “Taconite Tater-Tot Hotdish.”
The Minnesota Congressional Delegation 2012 “Hotdish Off” will be held from 1-2pm EST on Wednesday at the Capitol Visitor’s Center, room SVC 201/200 in Washington, DC
