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.
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.
