Today, our CEO and founder, Abdirahman Kahin, was named the National Small Business Person of the Year. And, who better to congratulate him than POTUS and VPOTUS! We are SO proud! Congratulations to Kahin again for this remarkable accomplishment 👏🏾

The wait is over, our most anticipated announcement of the year has arrived! 🧀🍒 🍦🌶🥐 We’re thrilled to introduce 33 Official New Foods and eight new vendors joining us at the 2025 Great Minnesota Get-Together, proudly sponsored by @MattressFirm! 👉 https://t.co/v3EmtfW9PY

We went with Black Foodie Travel Guy to check out the Black foodie vibes at the @mnstatefair. From Crab Boil Wings at @soulbowlmn to Afro Poppers at @afrodeli, and Jerk Pork Chops at West Indies Soul Food—these Black-owned food vendors brought all the flavor. 🔥🍗

You have to stop by and try our partner @AfroDeli's new food at the @mnstatefair - Afro Poppers! Inspired by the tradition of deep fried pastries across the continent of Africa. Every manifestation unique in flavors and texture, but all delicious!

Another great day at the State Fair! We enjoyed trying out more new Fair food - this time, Sergeant Wilkerson tried the @AfroDeli Afro Poppers! And youth Explorer Captain Vang had Pronto Pups for the first time! #minnesotastatefair #mnstatefair

Here's a review of our new Afro Poppers, an official New Food at the @mnstatefair. Stop by the Food Bldg to try them out yourself!

Afro poppers at the ⁦@mnstatefair⁩ . Delicious

Afro poppers from Afro Deli ($6) had high hopes. A bit of an aftertaste and greasy.

@exploreminn @mnstatefair @AfroDeli’s Afro Poppers caught our eye👀

I’ve spent two hours editing and creating a ranking of 33 new @mnstatefair foods based on essentially nothing. Enjoy.

Will you be stopping by to try Afro Poppers this year? 👀😋
