Last night I went to an Odell beer dinner at Pig n’ Fiddle for a friend’s birthday. It was great, loved the Saboteur, dug the rillette and pork belly pairings, it was a crazy fun night! We did, however, lose a member of our party…
No Meat? No Dairy? No Worries.
No, I’m not vegan … yet. But my hero – an ex-Viking football player turned judge – is. So are several players on my son’s college lacrosse team, as well as a cookbook editor, and my 65 year old neighbor. Where do they eat?
I once heard Thomas Keller, (America’s tallest toque)…
F3: Brimming
Happy Fresh Forkin’ Friday! What a week. Yesterday I went to the funeral of the first boy I ever kissed. It was fifth grade at the first boy/girl party and there was a closet into which we were shoved, and it was awkward and there was a kiss. Yipes, that girl, who…

F3: Year of the Mayan Death Star
I
t’s the first Fresh Forkin’ Friday of 2012 and I, for one, plan to rock this year full force. Some people pooh-pohh the idea of the world coming to an end in one giant swipe from the Mayan Death Star, but I say: why not embrace it? What would you do if you…
Coming Soon: Mona
It seems that not everyone is opening a beer bar, like I feared. Chef Lisa Hanson is braving the downtown scene and opening her restaurant Mona sometime this spring.
