Today, Senator Al Franken of Minnesota hosted the Fifth Annual Minnesota Hotdish Off on Capitol Hill. This was freshman Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06)'s first time participating in the competition, a fact he highlighted in his "Fresh Meat Hotdish."

"Like many Minnesotans, I grew up on hotdish," said Emmer. "As the delegation's newest member, I'm excited to join my colleagues in this annual tradition celebrating our home state. Just like my work in Congress is a fresh take on politics, my hotdish was a fresh take on my mom's recipe."

The annual competition is an opportunity for the Minnesota delegation to get together and enjoy a taste of home and celebrate the state's culture. All dishes were judged in a blind taste test by the judges, Jill Burcum, Eric Kaler, and Devin Henry. This year's winner was Congresswoman Betty McCollum with her Turkey, Sweet Potato, and Wild Rice Hotdish.
