MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Thursday is the first day of the Great Minnesota Get-Together, and Jason DeRusha is out trying the newest eats at the state fair.
The tweets speak for themselves:

Sam picked our first stop @thelmastreats - soft serve isn't very soft! Snickerdoodle is delish. Very hard/frozen - needs a few minutes. $5 #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/5vqC2gPMkO

Bhel Puri street food snacks is a delight of textures: peanuts, chickpeas, puffed rice, mango powder; vegan. A little addictive $10 #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/BN396Rk4Vt

Will the lamb chop be the next pork chop? Probably not. Good flavor, tender meat, could use a sauce - mint or cucumber? 2 for $6 is a nice value at Holy Land #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/DsJrnQjYLi

Pretty smart reuse of pineapples from @MannysTortas - blue corn tortilla tacos al pastor. Spicy! Almost too much filling to easily eat #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/g7Xhe8w8DI

Great flavor in the Funky Grits "shrimp" & grits fritter - there's a kick too. But no visible shrimp or flavor. Still at 3/$5 I'm cool with it. #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/jqy9rcikhZ

Cheesy Sriracha Funnel Cake Bites: I like this better than I expected. Fried dough (not sweet at all) with a sriracha mayo dip. A meh plus. #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/Mae0mO7z0S

$1 from each one of these Great Minnesota Handshake strawberry milkshake cream ale from @BlueBarnMN goes to @mncreditunions foundation! Tasty too! #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/CHyB39Umz1

Great job by @BlueBarnMN with the Nashville hot chicken on a stick - LOVE the corn flake batter crunch. Sweet/spicy sauce - not hot. #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/I7v667OnCQ

The Pebbles & Bam Bam was as expected- fruity pebbles and a Reese's Pb spread. Sugar bomb $8 #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/KQrwdFpxlC

The crowd favorite at RC's is the brisket grilled cheese - it's solid. Red onion jam makes it fancy for $10 #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/dyKVIgmx3g

I've sampled 16 beers so far, ask me anything #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/q6WUpq52kq

Turkish pizza at Blue Moon Drive-In is more like Turkish Burrito - the naan was barely cooked and the meat was overly stewed in tomato. I liked the Turkish spice but, this needs a little work. #mnstatefair pic.twitter.com/Oz7eS0rI5a
