the churn
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 latest from Twitter: @ZenBoxIzakaya watches some goofy robots make ramen, @PizzeriaLola is searching for a new server, and @TravailKitchen is closed for the day for a private event.
Some Minnesota cities are considering getting out of the liquor business, a profile of Dean Vlahos (the restaurateur who Tom Petters helped put into bankruptcy), Mark Stutrud talks about Summit’s Saga IPA (here’s our recent tasting panel), Minnesota Monthly tackles urban farming, check out this crazy biscuit I made (recipe here), a preview of The Left Handed Cook, love for Brasa, a mostly rave review for Mona, Iggers on Butcher & the Boar, and three good local mint juleps (I’m personally a huge fan of the HauteDish version). Plus: Evan from the Well Fed Guide to Life podcast nearly chokes to death on some sourdough bread at Sun Street.
A good rundown of local affordable eats, the Saffron food truck World Street Kitchen will become a restaurant in Uptown (at 28th and Lyndale) yet continue on as a food truck, Boom Island is releasing a new 9.5% ABV Belgian abbey-style beer called Brimstone this week, some jerk pulled a hit-and-run on the Natedogs food cart, and a taste of the Unideli at United Noodle (here’s ours).
The latest from Twitter: @RinataMpls now serves Sunday brunch, @perennialplate shares favorite moments from the road in their season finale, and @gaigaithai will teach Thai rice secrets tomorrow @LindenHillsCoop.
