@Loganh7: Thank you for creating this article, but I can't find any Reliable sources talking about "Iron Range cuisine" as a real, existing culinary tradition. The article also has, as of the time of writing this comment, zero sources whatsoever. It also makes questionable claims like that Pizza Rolls are an example of "Iron Range cuisine" simply because they were invented in Duluth.

I suggest that if you cannot back up this article with independent, reliable sources attesting to the existence of "Iron Range cuisine" as a distinct culinary tradition separate from the Cuisine of Minnesota or the Cuisine of the Midwestern United States, this article be deleted and/or merged into those pages.

It seems a few sources were added since I started writing the top level comment here, but Ctrl+F searching for "Iron Range cuisine" yields no results on any of them. At best, one of the sources, a promotional tourism site for the Iron Range, mentions "Iron Range food," but the existence of food in a region (which is true of any inhabited region, no matter how small or big) does not imply a distinct culinary tradition worth documenting with its own Wikipedia page.
