Crew from Glutton for Punishment in Barnesville for Potato Days

Barnesville, Minn. (WDAY TV) - An international TV audience will soon see what work goes into making a much loved delicacy in the valley.

A crew from the Food Network show Glutton for Punishment is in town for Barnesville’s Potato Days, but today the show's host, Bob Blumer, made a stop at Fargo’s Sons of Norway to learn about lefse making; from the potato mashing to the lefse griddle.

“I have heard a lot about it. Handmade but that is all is know and that is why I am here for the big lesson from the experts.”

Blumer travels the country with his show, Glutton for Punishment. On that show he has five days to prepare for a competitive food event.

On Saturday, he will try to unseat the champion potato peeler at the Barnesville Potato Days.
