There are a lot of different ratings for local restaurants, but it seems like the most important are the lists of favorite places that are actually voted on by you!  Central Minnesotans have voted these 2 places as "The Best in Central MN".  Have you been to them?  If not, put them down on your 'must-try' list.

Every week on 98-1 Minnesota's New Country we look for some of the best food in Central Minnesota.  It's called the "Food Fights" and it's a different food each week.  You can vote Monday through Thursday.  On Friday of each week we count all the votes and award one winning establishment as "The Best" in Central Minnesota.
