Forks on the Road Cary Jensen

Forks on the Road An outsider's musings about food and friendship on the high plains of America's Midwest



A confessed road warrior, Cary takes you on a journey back in time. It's the year 2008, in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Cary and his friend and co-worker are on a quest to explore the gastronomical offerings of the Sugar Beet Capital of the U. S. of A. Cultures clash, friendships are tested, and the Midwestern mystique is explored, in this outsider's heartwarming account of life in America's heartland.




An observant student of human behavior, in this book, Cary turns his eye towards the earnest and wholesome people of Grand Forks, North Dakota, and its sister city of East Grand Forks, Minnesota. With a sense of irony, and with tongue affixed firmly in cheek, Cary's affectionate account of Midwestern sensibility is sure to tickle the brain and warm the soul on even the coldest winter's night.
