Skimming the cream of local food news
The Shepherd’s Way cheese CSA is accepting members, Rick Nelson on Tim McKee’s rescue mission over at Il Gatto (if our ho-hum meal there last night was any indication, his presence certainly can’t do much harm), a sweet map of Longfellow dining, and an announcement for Tavola Lirica, an operatic autumn dinner series. Also, via an email: Gophers football concessions this year will feature a signature cheddar brat, and local fare from La Loma.
@TroutCaviar seeks ideas for “sulfur shelf shrooms” (aka chicken of the woods), @128Cafe and @ScottPampuch team up in St. Paul to make ratatouille and poached eggs, @CakeEaterBakery promotes their new daily commuter special, @S4xton points to a “chef v. chef Twitter battle” (or, more accurately, chef v. Shef), and @GrassFedCattle offers a Facebook Fan Special on a few packages of steaks.
Rachel surveys local street food (check out our Street Food directory here), tasting notes on Brainerd Lakes Beer First Pull IPA, an investigation of wheat berry risotto, a look at Peace Coffee’s upcoming coffee shop in Longfellow, a match of pasta and mushrooms (see our recent story on the same here), the Well Fed Guide to Life visits Kramarczuk’s, Uptown’s Bubble Me morphs into a Sawatdee Express, and an early look at Szechuan Spice in the former Zen Asian space.
@YoungChef2 mentally prepares to cook with Susur Lee (attend the dinner September 16th!), @Chowgirls provides a how-to on canning peaches while @MarthaandTom narrowly avert a canning disaster, @CommonRoots congratulates Hope Creamery on their 5th place State Fair win, and @KeegansPub promotes the Gopher shuttle bus with a free beer.
