Yesterday was my birthday (and Oprah’s and Tom Selleck’s). Because I
like my birthday (unlike some women who fear every second whilst
slouching toward forty), I told everyone. Invariably, they all asked me
the same question: Where are you going for your birthday dinner?
I threw out some fun…
While doing a taste test of local breweries for my next beer dinner at The Dining Studio, I decided to contact the folks at Flat Earth Brewery.
Flat Earth is a little-known St. Paul brewing company that makes killer
beer. While perusing its website, I discovered…
OK, I know what you’re thinking . . . aren’t the holidays the most
wonderful time of the year? Well, for some maybe, but for most chefs,
we work virtually nonstop from Labor Day until the end of December. If
we are lucky, maybe there is a vacation or…
As if we didn’t have enough to gab about this weekend. Every restaurant in which I ate, every fellow food geek was achatter about all the chef changes around town, what with McKee at the Guthrie then Brown and P & F parting ways.

I thought that, with the collective doom and the frigid cold, I could come up with a rightly gripey post that would drive a heated discussion. But alas, it looks like my membership in the Lollipop Guild is solid for this week.
Bad service leaves me cold. The feeling doesn’t stem from…
I’ve had it with huge chain restaurants trying to sell the people of this great land a bill of goods that is worthless! While watching football on Sunday I could not help but be bombarded by Pizza Hut commercials touting their all-natural pizza. What the hell does all natural mean…
There’s been a lot of media hype that our new President is a
“foodie.” He’s a regular at sophisticated Chicago restaurants such as Topolobampo and Spiaggia, and has a taste
for greasy junk and soul food as well. There are photos of him chowing down in legendary Honolulu burger joints. He clearly knows good food.®
Just because you are cheap, and local beaneries and watering
holes are slashing prices to get your business, doesn’t mean you can steal from
them. Times are tough, but there is a line where frugality
becomes downright obnoxious, and a lot of Minnesotans seem to be willfully
ignorant of it. It’s the restaurant equivalent of moping in the passing lane,

Upon our return from Spain, we ate vegetables for four days (it’s hard
to find veggies on restaurant menus). On the fifth day, it was time for
some good ol’ Midwestern food. While trying to put a finger on my
craving, I got a great idea: beer cheese soup….
