Not only do the Catholics give us something to chatter about (pope jokes are the best jokes), they give us a lovely tradition of refocusing our proteins on Fridays during Lent. Fish Fry is something to be celebrated for all denominations if you ask me. Gather your pals, sit elbow to elbow in a church basement,…
F3: Faschings
The Fresh Faschings Friday is brought to you by my wacky German heritage. Faschings (fahhsh-inks) is the German version of Mardi Gras and as stoic as we Krauts can be, when we let loose, we let loose (like hammerschlagen isn’t an indication of that). You might want to head down to Bockfest at the…
V-Day A Week Away
Holy smokes chums, you are about a week away from one of the smooshiest, drippiest, most expectation-laden day of the year! Don’t. Mess. It. Up. To help you out a touch, here are a smattering of ideas and joints at which you still might be able to score a seat/golden ticket of love. Don’t…
F3: It’s Super, Thanks For Asking.
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday should be marked with salad. Get your lettuce and low-fat proteins on for the next two days because on Sunday, you gotta FRY something. It’s the Super Bowl and that means one thing: bad food. Good bad food, but evil sinister bad food at the same time. It’s the paradox of our…
Now Open: Celebrity Coffee at MOA
OMG you guys. Did you see what just opened at MOA?
If you happen to be riding down the escalator near the space formerly known as Bloomingdales, you’ll see a fresh new outpost of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Shut Up, I know.
This is no mere coffee shop, this is the inaugural Midwest…
F3: Sliding Sliders
Do you know what weekend it is? It’s Art Sled Rally weekend! Jake and I have been thinking all week about what kind of vehicle we should construct on this Fresh Forkin’ Friday night so that we might hurl ourselves down the sled hill toward cheering immortality. We’ve gone the gamut of ideas, from…
Parka … by Stock and Badge
I can’t have been the only one who really didn’t know what to expect from Parka. There was Dogwood and Rustica, so was it a coffee shop? But there was an Erick Harcey component, so could it be noshy fare as well? It was going to be inside of new indie boutique Forage Modern…
Welcome to the Stage: Skuna Bay Salmon
It’s not often I get invited to a salmon launch. Did I think we’d be cracking a bottle of Dom over a fish head and tossing it down the street? No … not really.
But there I was at Borough with some chefs, a few media pals, and some Canadians. There’s a new fish…
F3: The New Minny
So, this Fresh Forkin’ Friday brings a lot of turmoil. Way beyond doping and fake girlfriends, we’ve got some local identity issues. The CC Club is being bought by the French Meadow gang, DMG has a good telling of their future plans. All I can say is that yesterday on the twitter, people who haven’t been there for YEARS were freaking out that…
F3: Hot Toddy
I’m only sharing this because Fresh Forkin’ Friday happens to fall on National Hot Toddy day and what with all the Seattle going on outside your window I’m feeling like we could all use a bump. The truth is, whenever I had a hacking cough or sore throat as a child (like many of…
