Eating local around the country
I am really interested in eating local as much as possible, mostly because of the environmental benefits. I found this map on Epicurious.com, a cooking website, that lists all in-season produce for each state, during each month. Clicking on Minnesota is a bit disheartening, as December through May is listed as the "dormant season." It's interesting to look at the growing season for other states, too, like Alaska or Hawaii.

Actually, my friends from other states always complain about the food here. I'm afraid that Minnesota has a reputation for being dormant on the culinary map in general, which is sad, because we really do have a few really wonderful restaurants. Try the Red Stag, the Strip Club, Muffletta's, Duplex, W.A. Frost and Vincent. They all tend to use as much local ingredients as possible.
