This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I was asked a very serious question … “If the Easter Bunny is a rabbit, why does he bring eggs? Why doesn’t the chicken get any credit?” Too true, young friend of Jake’s, too true. I can’t honestly answer why we don’t honor the chicken who is the real behind-the-scene’s maker of…
Tasty Twins Territory: New Foods at the Ballpark
Take me out to the ball game, zip me up in my fleeeeeece …
Ok so it might not be the warmest Twins home opener at Target Field on Monday, but the grass is green and the dogs are HOT so let’s get out and play ball! If you’re going for the game, but…
St. Patty’s Day Mayhem
Be gosh and be gorah, it’s almost the greenest day of the year! Remember last year when it was 70degrees outside? That was insane. Well, because St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday this year that means you’ll have the whole weekend to go tent hopping and junk your liver. But the big parade is on Saturday this year, please take note.
F3: Guinness Ice Cream
I have a pal of Irish lineage who was born on St. Patrick’s Day. Goes without saying, he’s had the best birthday parties, ever. One year we hosted it at our house and I threw down some Irish cheddar toasties with corned beef and a bucket load of salt n’ vinegar chips. That year I also…
F3: March Rising
I like this month. It suits me.

OPENS
Sushi Fix is opening tonight down in good ol’ Wayzata. Billy’s truck has upped the game with a clean and sleek shop that is modern and fun. Sumo wrestlers in the ladies room, get ready lake people. Look for Edo-style street sushi, creative…
Blue Plate’s New Brew
North Loop just keeps getting hotter!
The news is true, Blue Plate (Groveland Tap, 3 Squares, The Lowry, Edina Grill, etc.) has been working on a secret project for a while and DARN if those neighborhood meetings didn’t spill the beans. Stephanie Shimp confirmed for me that they are indeed planning to open a brewery/restaurant…
F3: Yawp
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I’d like to give a giant hollering YAWP to all the kids who were recognized by the James Beard Foundation for their talents at life behind a stove. Lord knows, it’s not as glamourous as gits like me like to paint it. I really feel lucky to be a part…
F3: Pass The Lemon
It’s Fresh Fishing Friday and you know what you need? Some fried fish. I know it has rather crept up on you what with Valentine’s Day and the Chinese New Year also this week, but there’s no better reason than Lent to grab some chums and go in search of a church basement, a dive bar,…
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…
