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.
Dara asks if Chef Jim Kyndberg can reinvent Crave and save BBQ all at the same time, an objection to a Minnesota farmer’s defensiveness vis-a-vis animal welfare, a roll-by-roll look at Mt. Fuji in Uptown, the once shaky Midtown Farmers Market location seems more stable (plus: wood-fired pizza by Olive Pizza at Midtown and a new gelato place called Simply Gelato at the St. Paul Farmers Market), a contest offering $495 worth of coffee and more from the Bull Run Roasting Company, Minnetonka’s Michael Foods sells for $1.7 billion to a private equity unit of Goldman Sachs, and will Victory 44′s loss of chefs be a new restaurant named Trevail’s gain?
