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.
Tom “Goose” Gilbert of Amherst, Massachusetts, the army reservist and combat medic known as the “Green Beret of Grub” by the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters, is in Minnesota. His mission: to devour a 30-inch pizza at Oakdale’s Randy’s Premier Pizza in 30 minutes or less. If he wins, he takes home a $1,000 prize. If he loses, he buys the $78 pizza. The action starts at 7:30pm and if you’re not making the trip to Oakdale you can watch it online.
