From the article:
At hundreds of bars, pubs and American Legion halls — in big cities and in small towns like Moose Lake, Long Prairie and Fergus Falls — the faithful gather for a few drinks and a chance at taking home that night's dinner without having to shoot it themselves.
Mary Wiener (her real name, honest), a lab technician from St. Cloud, starts a cheerleader's chant, and the farmer's daughters — out for a women-only camping weekend — join in, raising their glasses as though engaging in some holiday toast.
"Do we want grilled steak?"
"Yeah!"
"Do we want bottom round?"
"Yeah!"
Wiener, a true meat-and-potatoes woman, sips her first Miller Genuine Draft of the evening. "I'm going for the bacon," she says.
