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.
Zimmern interviews Dara, Smashburger is open in Woodbury, Cafe Twenty Eight has an “amazing” fried egg sandwich, much love from Dara for Nick and Eddie’s high-value menu, how to go from raw pig heads to delicious head cheese, Harmony Valley Farm is hiring, Lileks on crops and vindaloo, deets on the upcoming Schell’s Bock Fest, a recap of the Simple, Good, and Tasty meal at Brasa, a look at Piccolo in the Strib (featuring a $13 meatball!), “terrific quality” sushi in Duluth (who knows? could be true!), and the joy of hunting (and eating) rabbits.
