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.
The Captain’s Chair chats with the founder of Lucid Brewing, a soon-to-be Twin Cities microbrewery, Wakame Sushi & Asian Bistro is now open in the old Three Fish location at Calhoun Commons, Iggers praises the buttermilk pancakes with caramelized pecans, the wine prices, and the paint-by-number art gallery (clowns! poodles! Jesus!) at Hot Plate in South Minneapolis, check out the groovy purple cauliflower from the Dunlooken Farm CSA in the Heavy Table Flickr pool, and stop by the Four Firkins on Friday, July 31 from 6-8pm for some free samples of Crispin Cider and meet Crispin’s President and CEO Joe Heron.
Nice, Hot Plate is our favorite brunch spot in town. Glad to see them get some attention.
