The latest from Twitter: @chowgirls is planning a Valentine’s Day Dinner featuring loads of local farmers, @BlackDogStPaul is serving limited edition Lift Bridge Biscotti Ale tonight only, @SaffronMpls will reward the person who guesses how many pounds of lamb bacon are piled on their counter, and (though not from Twitter) Beez Kneez Bicycle Delivered Honey tragically lost a hive yesterday.
Thanksgiving over at Martha and Tom’s and at Les Petites Images (plus the Thanksgiving camel tradition at South 12th), Kieran’s Irish pub is relocating to the former Bellanotte space, a verdict on durian fruit (and thoughts about Zimmern and Bourdain), a video featuring the packing of PastureLand butter, a Chowhound supposition: our local Whole Foods are sub-par, Rachel’s wide-ranging piece on anonymous online reviews, a beautiful photo of vanilla beans, and a look into the sordid world of North Country bacon cheeseburger pizzas. Man, it’s good to be back.
