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.
Bill Roehl has the scoop on the Black Dawg biker bar’s upcoming relocation, a good list of this month’s openings and closings over at City Pages, a full-on Vietnamese style meal at Chez Charles (including three recipes), the always illuminating Philip Dorwart explores the fish chop, Lenny Russo salutes Beard Award winner Tim McKee and misspells Isaac Becker (shame on the Strib copy desk, if they’re still employed), RIP Little Wagon, MNBeer announces an amazing-sounding beer-and-brats series at the Cellars, and some dude over at Shefzilla invites you to imagine him licking “a gentle ooze of delicious salty & fatty juice” off of his own arm.
