The latest from Twitter: @BlueOxCoffeeCompany plugs their peppermint mocha garnished with a Thin Mint from the Girl Scouts (it’s that time of year!), @ngonbistro announces their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, @RogueChocolate marvels that every one of their bars is hand-inspected by the founder himself, and @france44 is serving a decadent-sounding fig salami with blue cheese.
Zimmern calls for a public castration of restaurant no-shows (which we endorse), Emily is gathering people together for a Pedal Pub ride, Mag and Kris hit the Between the Bluffs Beer, Wine and Cheese Festival and chintz out on the wine and cheese, Metro gives lunch at Porter & Frye a “B” (corrected for their consistent grade inflation, that’s roughly a C-), a rare downbeat review for Summit Horizon Red Ale “doesn’t have the boldness we were hoping for,” Seven Sushi and Steakhouse has filed for Chapter 11, Duluth Dish profiles Minneapolis fair trade wine importer Etica, and it looks as though Chipotle’s slipping marketing money to the Downtown Journal. Oh well. Could be worse. Could be White Castle.
