Last night I caught what must be the first horse of the culinary apocalypse: Rocco on Dancing With The Stars. Why? Because train wrecks need audiences.
But I don’t get it. I don’t get why someone who is so talented with food and cooking keeps peddling his cheaper wares. How was his dancing? Sluggish…
It’s time to hit the road, time to stretch my definition of "local." This Fresh Forkin’ Friday has me itchin’ to load up, pick a point outward, and take off. I filled up for $3.42 yesterday, and those bargain-basement numbers aren’t sure to last, so let’s burn ‘em!
Besides beautiful fall foliage and random…
Have you heard that Tom Colicchio is coming to town? And that you can meet him? I know I’m shilling for our own simply fabulous food and wine event next weekend, but come on, aren’t you on board?
Colicchio is known for being the straight-talking judge on Bravo’s Top…
This last weekend, I made the season’s first foray into the madness that has become apple picking. Minnesota orchards have found a way to eke out a living by providing a State Fair-like experience that often includes jumping goats, hayrides, and corn mazes. It’s a gift . . . and a curse. Some places go way over the top and cease…
I’m a little fuzzy this Fresh Forkin’ Friday morning, working through the haze from last night’s W Hotel grand opening bash. It was glammy and fun, and I had good hair and too many cocktails. My favorite was the Epiphany, which is made with St. Germaine, an elderflower liqueur that the W carries…
There was much excitement over the resurfacing of Chef Eric "Big E" Austin when the Bourbon Street Steak House was unveiled. In the past, the former owner of Big E’s Soul Food had enjoyed a nice foodie following until legal issues got in the way. There were arrests, and Soul Food was closed.

Anyone who had driven by the sad and rapidly dilapidating former home of Minneapolis’s legendary restaurant and bar, the place that brought modern cooking and hospitality to Minnesota in the late 1970s, has to feel a pang of sadness. But the thought of some sort of local resurrection seems all wrong. I mean, the New French Café was of an era, and that era is…
I am obsessed with pumpkin-flavored things. And yes, I know the Pumpkin Latte at Starbucks has a kajillion calories, but I just don’t care because pretty soon it’s bulky sweater weather.
This Saturday is Bryant-Lake Bowl’s annual Rock for Democracy Block Party, rain or shine. It’s a zero-waste event with lots…
This one’s for sushi lovers out there. How do you feel about restaurants that are decidedly not Japanese yet add sushi to their repertoire?
I’m not talking about r. Normans/Seven Sushi because Seven is a separate entity. It’s not about operators opening a different concept; that happens all the time. I’m talking about places such as…
What’s with the perfect eating weather that has fallen upon us? This chilly air makes me want to kick the oven on and bake something. I’m not up to braising yet, don’t be silly, but as soon as those colors start busting, I’m all about short ribs. This Fresh Forkin’ Friday is dedicated to the…
