On Monday, Curtis Food Recruiters headed to the Great Minnesota Get-Together with our walking shoes on and appetites ready.
From State Fair staples to new food debuts, a few of our highlights included:
- Pickle Pizza — Rick’s Pizza
- Pronto Pups — The Original Pronto Pup
- Cheese Curds — Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery
- Bacon on a Stick — Big Fat Bacon
- Apple Fries — Minnesota’s Original Apple Fries
- Fried Olives — Fried Olive on a Stick
- Chocolate Chip Cookies — Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar
- Hawaiian Shaved Ice — Hawaiian Shaved Ice
- Eclipse Foods’ Dairy-Free Soft Serve — The Dairy Bar
It’s safe to say no one left the fair hungry!
As a remote team, we always appreciate opportunities to step away from our screens and spend time together outside of work. Days like this give us a chance to try something new and enjoy each other’s company — no Teams meeting required!
The outing was especially fitting since this year marks Curtis Food Recruiters’ 20th anniversary. For two decades, our work has centered around the people and companies that keep the food industry moving. Taking part in one of Minnesota’s biggest traditions celebrating food, agriculture, and community was a fun way to mark the occasion.
By the end of the day, we had logged plenty of steps, tasted more than a few fair favorites, and shared many laughs along the way.
Good food, great weather, and even better company made for a memorable day. Until next year!
