After immigrating to the state nearly 40 years ago, and building a family in Minneapolis, she had walked the iconic fairgrounds with her children. But for the first time, she would stand on the other side of the counter as a vendor among nearly 300 concessions offering some 1,600 foods. Mohamed, the Somali entrepreneur behind Hoyo Sambusa, knew the fair was her chance to bring sambusas -fried triangular pastries filled with lentils and piled high in a giant cone-to an unprecedented audience.

Palmieri is so excited about these desserts that he's given them their own booths. Two are in the Fun Zone near the Timber Mountain Slide and the Creep Show dark ride.
