Mahnomin Porridge
The late Mitch Omer -- a Roadfood hero who created Minneapolis's Hell's Kitchen -- was inspired to invent Mahnomin Porridge by reading journals of 19th century fur traders who described a meal eaten by Cree Indians. It is hearty and healthful, but also extremely luxurious, thanks to the cream that Mitch added.Roadfood review of Hell's Kitchen
