Skimming the cream of local food news
The latest from Twitter: @Peace_Coffee plays cupid with “Caffeinate Your Cutie,” @triplerockmpls is serving @surlybrewing Mild at $3.50 a pint, @bittercube celebrates the long-anticipated opening of Eat Street Social, and @Masu_NE will feature a suggestive little Valentine’s Day roll through Tuesday.
The process has started to find a new food vendor for Lake Nokomis [tip from Ed Kohler], winter cheeses, Whole Foods is coming to the intersection of Hennepin and Washington Avenues, the story behind the rise of new Hell’s Kitchen partner Tony Perella, a gorgeous shot of Town Talk Diner from 1954, and a quick primer on third wave coffee (no relation to third wave ska).
The latest from Twitter: @BirchwoodCafe is featuring artwork by WACSO (check out his lively contributions to some of our stories), @fultonbeer’s Sweet Child of Vine is only $3 a pint @ZenBoxIzakaya, @RickNelsonStrib wants to know how you tip, and @MNBeerActivists ask about the best beer for breakfast time.

Actually you can find it on youtube.com or this link to watch the episodes: http://www.saffronmpls.com/ . I was surprised and then again I wasn’t-of the outcome. However, who can beat a Japanese chef with the secret ingredient…FISH!? Give him lamb next time. :o) I really like his food and the restaurant atmosphere. You should try to go sometime. The service is excellent also.
