Royal Cafe in Virginia has excellent chicken dumpling soup everyday, just like my Finnish Dad used to make….

I went to school on ‘the Range’ and worked at Hibtac back in the ’70′s and love Range cuisine. Porketta has been officially introduce into the heart of Dixie, along with perogies and pigs in a blanket. When asked what Porketta is, I tell them “this is what a ‘Ranger’ does to a pork butt”. Fortunately, I learned how to make these from my buddies Mom the old fashioned way. Had the F&D meats and Fraboni’s versions, but we like the homemade best. These southerners know how to BBQ (more than 8 hours of cook time) a pork butt, but I have to make porketta every Christmas for the neighborhood. We can’t get ‘Top the ‘Tater’ down here for the perogies so we improvise. Cabbage rolls with fresh gulf shrimp is to die for. Last good pastie I had was from the Italian Bakery in Virginia, MN, but we are working on introducing some of these to the neighbors. We have shown them what REAL wild rice looks (and tastes) like – morels are optional – not the white rice with a couple of grains of paddy rice in it.

Keep sharing the Love! (of Iron Range Food)

Some of the addresses to the businesses are incorrect. Some have repeat addresses such as 407 West Chesnut, Virginia….and yet some have the entire town entry wrong. I hope the busineseses that are on here that have their address, let alone city wrong are paying for this site.
