No-mayo potato salad, grass-fed mini burgers, crunchy swai with basil-goat cheese potato puree, curried pea soup, pickled rhubarb (etc.), white bean ragout, Italian sausage grill with gnocchi, leftover oatmeal pancakes, and cheddar chive buttermilk biscuits with extra creamy scrambled eggs.
Tricia shreds Rosa Mexicano, notes on bird hunting in Wisconsin, a review of Grain Belt Premium, a rundown of some local wine options, all the Thanksgiving-related news that’s fit to print, the details on Lift Bridge’s intriguing Commander Barleywine release, Well Fed Guide to Life goes to Zen Box Izakaya, and a new lager called Founding Fathers debuts today.
The death of the Uptown bro bar; analysis of how media coverage spurred the sudden popularity of Mojo Monkey Donuts; Sirena Gorda has closed; a look at Pig & Fiddle; two veterans of L’Etoile are opening a new restaurant in Madison called Three Square; DeRusha visits the Modern Cafe; a warm, thoughtful dismissal of Fulton Brewery’s Sweet Child of Vine; “It took me 40 minutes to get the stove to 400 degrees” seems more like a reason NOT to take a class in how to use a wood stove than an enticement to do so; a video documenting Lift Bridge Brewery’s oyster stout; and a partial tour of the Fargo, ND restaurant scene.
An account of roaming among the ghosts of North Dakota; the story of the Slow Pig festival in Madison, WI; details on the Maiden Minnesota event; Rick digs Mojo Monkey doughnuts; food trucks will appear in Kitchen in the Market during the winter months; Zagat rates the top local restaurants (upscale Euro-centric joints for the win!); and Lift Bridge Brewing is hiring a driver.
Joe Senser’s Eagan sports bar closes suddenly (and dramatically, in light of the ongoing hit-and-run drama), raves for Nostrano in Madison on its one-year anniversary, I think we’ve got the name for the next Lift Bridge Brewery beer right here, a preview of the Powderhorn Empty Bowls event, a Teppanyaki Grill Supreme Buffet review that confirms my suspicions, a late autumn foraging update, a walking tour of the Corcoran neighborhood, and a cheese-centric interview with author Molly Stevens (All About Roasting).

Bands, beers, and a bratwurst dinner were the payment offered to the couple hundred craft beer fans who helped Lift Bridge Brewery finish the processing of the hop harvest last Friday. The hop cone-picking event, called Pickin’ and Grinnin’, was key to the creation of Lift Bridge Brewing’s annual limited-edition fresh hop-flavored beer called Harvester.
