A fairly amazing-sounding Better Beer Society brown bag series event at Butcher & the Boar, some revised menus at local restaurants, a local foodie’s epic Mother’s Day feast, tasting notes for Summit Pilsner and Steel Toe’s Provider, the Star Tribune’s Taste 50, and a new urban farm in Minneapolis.
The Sample Room (2124 Marshall St., Minneapolis) has promoted Matt Paulson from Sous Chef to Executive Chef and overhauled its menu. New items include braised bison on mashed potatoes ($7), roasted squash risotto with rainbow chard, blue cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds ($14), and wild mushroom ragout on polenta with truffle oil ($7.25).
