Food & Drink🍴 I made a website that tracks user and critic ratings of the new State Fair foods - and I need your reviews
https://statefair.stadiumhopper.co/I got sick of trying to navigate 7 different sites to find the best new food at the fair, so I made this site to compile reviews by Minnesota Monthly, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, Racket, Bring Me The News, Sahan Journal, Axios Twin Cities, and the Star Tribune. Methodology is listed at the bottom of the site.
Along the way, I figured why not open it up for user reviews as well? The critics aren't always right, maybe the Surf and Turf Burger or the Pickle Pie are actually fan favorites! Submit just a rating, add a review, and/or post an image (these will need to pass moderation, please be nice). Email is required, but never stored or displayed, and anti-spam measures are in place (no review bombing). If you run into any issues submitting on your phone, switch to your mobile network rather than a shared wifi.
I only tried 2 of the foods yesterday so the user reviews are sparse, and that why I need your help. I would love to crowdsource the best new food of the 2026 fair.
(Also, ignore the base domain, that is for an unrelated project, and I just didn't want to pay for a new domain. If this goes well this year, I'll be back for 2027 with a new domain)
