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.
A review of the Grand Dining Room in Nisswa, an eye-catchingly offensive call to frequent Paradise Market in Hopkins, the highest-impact breakfast photo of 2010 (courtesy of Iggers and Stabby’s), Lift Bridge wins a packaging award for its Crosscut Pale Ale, meditations on binging and regret (plus recipes), a look at the incredible pasties of Turtle River (plus an adapted recipe), rage against artificially low standards for suburban food, meditations on the North and South Shores (plus a recipe), and Mecca visits the Greenbush in Madison. (If you’re there late at night, don’t miss the Greenbush bakery up the street… truly killer doughnuts, baked fresh.)
