Last year, the hotdish competition ended in a tie between Franken and former Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack.
“I’m very excited about hosting another Hotdish Off tomorrow,” Franken said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to defending my title as the Minnesota delegation’s hotdish champion and spending some quality time with the other members of the Minnesota delegation.”
This time around, Senator Franken will be joined by eight of the nine other members of the Minnesota congressional delegation including; Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Reps. Collin Peterson (D-MN), Betty McCollum (D-MN), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Tim Walz (D-MN), Eric Paulsen (R-MN), and Rick Nolan (D-MN). Rep. John Kline (R-MN) is not participating. The Hotdish competition will take place in the Senate office building at 1:30 p.m.
