I had the luxury of growing up with an adopted Vietnamese brother, Tao.
Later in my life, I would realize that growing up with him and the food
he exposed my family to were some of my first real and most memorable
ethnic food experiences. A few times a year,…
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,

street from our flat called El Tropezón.
This is the type of restaurant that caters to the locals and seems to

definitely interesting, and ultimately flavorful. Our last two planned
meals into that realm were at Alkimia and Comerç24.
These two restaurants were recommended to us by Jordi, the chef at CincSentits. He felt they…

flat that was very well appointed, perfectly designed, and empty,
always empty. Generally, we find that when we enter a place, be it a
shop or restaurant, it seems to fill up . . ….
