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.
Chez Charles has a great post up about Everett’s, a South Minneapolis butcher that — in recent Internet terms, anyway — dwells in the shadow of the much more PR-savvy (and rightfully respected) Clancey’s. In brief: “Why do I love Everett’s so much? Maybe it’s the 1950′s nostalgic feel of the place. Maybe it’s the fact that they dry-age their beef to perfection. Maybe it’s their incredible house-made sausages and bratwurst and other cured meats.”
