It’s Fresh Forkin’ Friday and I’m pretty sure most kids are out of school. For many moms that means you have to stock up on ham. And ramen. And anything that will feed the teenagers’ gaping maw when they are awake/hungry. My favorite summer was the one after I turned 16 and my friend Ally would…
Now Open: Maruso Street Food & Bar
When I was a youngster, fresh on my own, the Skyway Theater was called the switchblade cinema. But hey, things are looking up on the block!
Now open in the former To Soho space is Maruso Street Food & Bar. The joint has been rehabbed with a long bar, some fresh seating, an open…
F3: Half-Day Glory
For many of us, this Fresh Forkin’ Friday marks the first of our summer half-days. I am so PRO this benefit, as I think most of us are, because it delivers more than just a shorter work week … it delivers balance. For the nine months of the year that we are threatened with the possibility…
F3: The Long Weekend
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday kicks off a long weekend of fun for most folks. There’s tonnage of stuff to be grilled, sangrias to make, washers to be tossed all in the name of welcoming The Good Life (read: summer in MN). I will be attending at least one gathering, one that is not at my house,…
F3: Persephone Rising
I dunno, this Fresh Forkin’ Friday just feels like the official kick-off for summer. It’s not because it’s jammed with events like Art-A-Whirl or graduation parties or big wine tent soirees, it’s not even that there will be food trucks in multi-locations all over town this weekend for your al fresco snacking pleasure. The fact that…
Snack-A-Whirl
The biggest weekend of the year in Nordeast, Art-A-Whirl brings everyone to the neighborhood looking for art, artists, and good times. If you’ve never been before there is one big thing to understand, there’s no base camp, no main stage, no midway for you to aim for. It’s basically one large gallery crawl and…
F3: Mommy Dearest
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I’d like you all to do a little thinking. About Mom. I’m not saying brunch is a bad idea, I think brunch is lovely, what with all the eggs and carving of pinkish meat. I just wonder … how many brunches did your mom slave over for you? Not a whole ton, am I right? But then think about how many…
F3: Bearded
Last night, Dara and I had the pleasure of being guests at a dinner honoring our three local James Beard Award winners: Tim McKee, Alex Roberts, and Isaac Becker. On this Fresh Forkin’ Friday, the eve of the 2012 awards, I have been thinking about how interesting it was to see the level of…
Now Open: Angel Food Bakery
Yesterday was the sneaky Day One for the new Angel Food Bakery & Coffee Bar by the kids at Hell’s Kitchen. I popped in this morning to grab sundries for our weekly meeting. The small space is bright white in lovely contrast to its hellish neighbor, and there were some good lookin’…
F3: To Your Health
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I am happy to announce that the fever has broken. Having a sick kid for a week has truly been unnerving. He’s been a pretty healthy little dude thus far, so this has really been his first bout of long term down-and-out-itis. All week, as I was trying to get food into…
