In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, you don’t have to go far to find a giant thing. From our biggest twine ball to our many towering walleye statues, Minnesota doesn’t shy away from its bigger-is-better mentality. That even goes for our favorite foods, which is why it should come as no surprise that one Minnesota restaurant is home to a giant, pizza-sized pretzel. Check it out:
