The latest from Twitter: @chowgirls is planning a Valentine’s Day Dinner featuring loads of local farmers, @BlackDogStPaul is serving limited edition Lift Bridge Biscotti Ale tonight only, @SaffronMpls will reward the person who guesses how many pounds of lamb bacon are piled on their counter, and (though not from Twitter) Beez Kneez Bicycle Delivered Honey tragically lost a hive yesterday.
Gusto Cafe and Wine Bar in Hopkins closed this weekend. Their voicemail says after three and a half years of business, due to economic conditions “we have made the painful decision to close.” Their website indicates: “Gusto became much more than a restaurant. The guests came in and became friends, our employees became family.” Sad news, indeed. [Hat tip to Katie Cannon]
