Bill Roehl has a great South Metro Easter Brunch rundown (did he miss any?) including Al Baker’s, Casper’s Cherokee Sirloin Room, Rascal’s, Roasted Pear and Rudy’s Redeye Grill, Katie vows to avoid grocery chains, HFCS and eat local, MNMO features a recipe for pea, radish and argula salad from Sapor’s Tanya Siebenaler, Hungry in Southwest […]
MoreEmily has a hilarious beermergency that’s worth a read. Also, no more beer items until Monday, honest.

Quoting our write-up on the Fest, it’s an “offering that infuses lemongrass and longan fruit to provide a yeast-forward, spicy aroma followed up by a relatively delicate maltiness and nicely puckering mouthfeel.”
MoreCaptain’s Chair has a great write-up on New Glarus Unplugged Iced Barleywine (for all you Wisconsinites out there), a superb-looking and thoroughly local hot pot recipe from Trout Caviar, and Manny’s Steakhouse is dumping its corkage fee, reports Kare11 [via Girl Friday].
More[Via Iggers]: Numerous details on the openings of the Uptown Mt. Fuji, Cowboy Slim’s Saloon in the former Campiello’s, Sauce Spirits and Soundbar in the former La Bodega, and the big new St. Paul Brasa.
