Last Sunday I took a spill on the soccer field, not in small part due to the meteoric trajectory of some dude from the other team of whom I happened to be goalside. Bygones. Anyhoo, my knee took the brunt and I’ve been gimping all week. I had a happy hour meeting and thought a little…
Coming Soon: Smack Shack … The Restaurant?!
I got a little sneaky view of some plans this weekend, and wow.
Josh Thoma and partner Kevin Fitzgerald have already begun construction on the space that will be Smack Shack . . . bricks and mortar style. The full-service restaurant and bar will open on 6th & Washington Avenues in the North Loop…
F3: Gender Cocktails
I had a serious role to play last night. We went on assignment for a friend who’s getting married and wants to serve two signature cocktails at the wedding . . . one for the bride, one for the groom. This requires diligence and research, so we diligently found our way to Cafe Maude.…
Don Saunders’ New Gig
In the dream of a world where all the cool chefs pop off into little neighborhoods and open super cool pizza joints and little sandwich delis, I know that I would still get left out. I live in the swamp. Out in BFE, to be crass.

The Commodore Rises?
Oh MY the rumor river is just churning up information. First the Azia thing, which is so good for that corner (look here for further food details) and then HT throws down with the info about Cafe Maude taking over Nick & Eddie. That had the merest whispering a month ago, I didn’t think it was real!
So I feel compelled…
F3: Star Struck
The LA Times came out yesterday with a statement that they were no longer going to use stars as a rating system for their restaurant reviews. That is big news. I just finished editing Zimmern’s piece for the April issue and he digs on this very same issue, so stay tuned for his perspective….
Dara: Introducing Harriet Brasserie
Dang, she’s not even going to take a vacation! We’re still tricking out her blog space, but Dara sent me this to post:
Finally, the answer to the question: What’s going in to the old Café 28 space in South Minneapolis. Drum roll please…
The Harriet Brasserie! Or Harriet Brasserie. The situation…
