Minnetonka is HUNGRY. Ike’s Food & Cocktails opened the other day and I popped by for their second service last night and they were on an hour wait by 5:45. Granted, they weren’t serving on the patio and the little semi-private room wasn’t open, plus it’s not a huge space, but people just kept…
F3: Switch Flipped
I’ve flipped the switch. I’m totally on board with fall eating. I know it was around 90 the other day, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about fire pit chili and braising a pork shoulder. I have moved on to hearty mushroom pasta and gnocchi, I bought my first pumpkin beer at the store the…
World Market Eats
I don’t know about you, but I was sad when World Market closed its stores in the metro. You know who…
F3: Mackenthun’s
Despite the fact that I had to drive all they way out to Waconia for a kid soccer game yesterday, today on this Fresh Forkin’ Friday I am sitting pretty with a fat sandwich from Mackenthun Meats (out St. Boni way). The family-owned shop has been around forever (no association to the Mackenthun’s Supermarket…
Must. Drink. Brains.
You know, Zombies get thirsty too. You think it’s so easy to be undead, hauling your rotting corpse around? And quite frankly, while brains can make a tasty taco, when there’s nothing to wash it down with, they fall a little flat.
But you know what? The dudes behind Zombie Pub Crawl Ocho know how to hook a boogey up. This year for the…
F3: Laboring
It’s Fresh Forkin’ Friday and according to Minnesota law, you should be heading out of town to points “up north”. Personally, I couldn’t think of anything scarier … but that’s because I have kids. Instead of taking one last running leap off the dock, I’ll be furiously searching for graphing calculators and wide-ruled paper (Steph March…
The Caribbean on Lake Mtka.
I absolutely need to apologize for something. I’ve been holding out on you, selfishly.
All summer long I’ve been eating at this secret joint, and I haven’t wanted to share. The Caribbean is a marina on Echo Bay that has a dock-side deck restaurant. For boaters, it’s on the back side of Big Island, for drivers,…
F3: In Town Tourist
This Fresh Forkin Friday I am wondering if I’ll actually be able to take next week off. Probably not entirely, but I’m going to try. My plan is to take the week and be a tourist with my kids. I think we’ll go to the zoo, run around some parks, perhaps hop on a segway tour,…
Coming Very Soon: AZ’s New Food Truck
That’s right, Andrew Zimmern is launching a food truck, AZ Canteen, and he’s launching it next week at the Minnesota State Fair!
OK, your first thought: It’s going to be all about worm tacos and tarantula pasties. I know, mine too, but no. Let’s face it, Zimmern is a guy who has eaten all…
Coming Soon: Eat Shop
Well, this is a bit awkward, but …
There’s a new joint opening in the former Joe Senser’s spot in Plymouth, and it’s called Eat Shop. The guy behind the show is Michael Larson who spent the bulk of his career in Parasole, cheffing/GMing at Pronto back in the day, opening more than…
