What and Where Is North Dakota’s Most Iconic Restaurant
Thrillist is at it again! Thrillist has compiled a list of the most iconic restaurants, one for each state in the US. What and where do the honors go to?
First off, we all know it's not too hard to find the oldest restaurant in a state. That is why we have Google. To find the most iconic restaurant for each state is a little more difficult. I think the term "iconic" could have different definitions to different folks.
Because of that, Thrillist used the following for its guideline to find each states "iconic" restaurant.
"To qualify for this list, a place had to have been around for 30+ years (all have been in business since at least 1980) and still be a crowd favorite. And while some of these restaurants may not have the best food or be tourist-free, they’re all famous.
Now that we know the guidelines, the honors for North Dakota go to Red Pepper in Grand Forks. According to Thrillist-
"Described even by the owner as a “classic hole in the wall”, the Red Pepper has satisfied UND students’ late-night cravings for 40+ years. And basically nothing about it has changed in that time… kinda like Susan Sarandon’s face. The Grinder — a strange mash-up of white sauce, lettuce, hot sauce, swiss, and taco meat, plus either ham, salami, or turkey — is what’s ordered here more than anything else.
They could be correct, after all Red Pepper has been serving tacos since 1961. That's a lot of tacos!
