This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I’d like you all to do a little thinking. About Mom. I’m not saying brunch is a bad idea, I think brunch is lovely, what with all the eggs and carving of pinkish meat. I just wonder … how many brunches did your mom slave over for you? Not a whole ton, am I right? But then think about how many…
F3: Bearded
Last night, Dara and I had the pleasure of being guests at a dinner honoring our three local James Beard Award winners: Tim McKee, Alex Roberts, and Isaac Becker. On this Fresh Forkin’ Friday, the eve of the 2012 awards, I have been thinking about how interesting it was to see the level of…
Now Open: Angel Food Bakery
Yesterday was the sneaky Day One for the new Angel Food Bakery & Coffee Bar by the kids at Hell’s Kitchen. I popped in this morning to grab sundries for our weekly meeting. The small space is bright white in lovely contrast to its hellish neighbor, and there were some good lookin’…
F3: To Your Health
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I am happy to announce that the fever has broken. Having a sick kid for a week has truly been unnerving. He’s been a pretty healthy little dude thus far, so this has really been his first bout of long term down-and-out-itis. All week, as I was trying to get food into…
Steven Brown Gets A Market
What else does Steven Brown have to do, afterall? Why not get behind a neighborhood farmers market and push it into reality? He’s probably bored. Actually he’s been thinking about this for a bit. Not long after Tilia opened I remember him talking about cooking something up in the neighborhood and bringing his little potted…
F3: 4/20
It’s Fresh Forkin’ Friday duuuuuude. And it’s April 20, which means it is a snacking and munching food holiday! I think food trucks should be prepared for the zombie squads looking for sustenance, I think given the sunny day the line at
Sea Salt (clam fries!) might be a bit slower, and maybe you…
F3: Sharking
Later this Fresh Forkin’ Friday, I am headed down to KC. I am road-tripping to go see the Jayhawk in her last few weeks as an undergrad. Yes there will be Arthur Bryant’s and I was hoping to sneak in a Bluestem visit, but I don’t think there’s time. I’m taking her…
To Market, To Market
Aren’t you simply itching to get your farmers market season underway? What with all this teasing weather, I keep expecting to see the tents on Nicollet Mall every Thursday I drive in. Well, it’s not much longer until we can kick into high market gear, here’s a little date sheet to…
F3: #Putaneggonit
It’s Fresh Forkin’ Friday and it’s on. Every year we color 90 eggs for Easter and today is the day. This year my nephew will help out, and the neighbor kids will surely stop by, perhaps even the 17 y.o. will sit for a minute to cast one with his signature Groove Armada logo….
Batter Up: New Eats at Target Field
It’s spring and if your fancy turns to thoughts of peanuts and cracker jack, you might be a baseball fan. In the car ride to the ballpark for our first game every year, the chatter turns from “Will Joe still have those sideburns?” to ” Do you think I should go nachos before hot dog? Or vice versa?” If that’s how you roll too, you…
