A Shrimp Progressive is where you go to different restaurants and taste different kinds of shrimp (I made this up so don't think you should know this already). Take $8 from each person (the poorman's limit) and go to 4 different restaurants and order one shrimp dish to share at each restaurant & drinks. The plan is to ask for the manager and tell the manager you are shrimp connoiseurs and you will be tasting their best shrimp dish and writing a review. Tell the manager you would like his/her card so you have the email address to send the review to (use these cards to show the next managers you are for real). Have one person drive & not pay while everyone else throws down $8 for 4 different restaurants, one-two dishes each restaurant & drinks. Maybe the manager will give you a discount, if not, write a bad review and use "shrimped" as a verb so you sound like a true connoiseur.
Cheap and fun things to do around Minneapolis/St.Paul
