But when it comes to restaurants, we're more like **. If that. Some factors are beyond our power to change. Consider these familiar Minnesota-isms. The nation's icebox. Try finding fresh local produce when there's snow on the ground five months out of the year. And forget about luring crowds into your hip bistro when the windchill is minus-40. Geography's curse. Fresh seafood ain't easy when the nearest ocean is 1,000 miles away. Pass the hot dish. Our lingering Scandinavian-German-Irish heritage holds a decidedly anti-ostentation attitude toward food. Potatoes and boiled fish, anyone? Also, the hedonism locked into the DNA of every great food town is absent from our largely Lutheran genetic code. (We wouldn't want to enjoy anything too much.)

The Vermilion and Cuyuna ranges (discovered in 1884 and 1911) are virtually depleted, and the once rich Mesabi range (1890) has also declined. South of the iron country, famous for its old-time boomtowns, lie rolling hills. In the south and the west are prairies, fertile farming country. The state has more than 11,000 lakes and numerous streams and rivers. The rivers feed three great river systems: The Red River of the north and its tributaries in the west run north through Manitoba's lakes to Hudson Bay; streams in the east run into Lake Superior, and eventually into the St. Lawrence; and the Mississippi flows south from Minnesota headwaters above Lake Itasca, gathering volume from the waters of the St. Croix and Minnesota rivers before leaving the state. The beauty of Minnesota's lakes and dense green forests, as seen in Voyageurs National Park, has long attracted vacationers, and there is excellent fishing in the state's many rivers, lakes, and streams. Also of interest to tourists are the Grand Portage and Pipestone national monuments (see
