Bonfire Wood Fire Cooking | Woodbury

Bonfire Woodfire Grill Woodbury Crab Claw
Standard

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when someone talks about a diet they’re on, so I apologize ahead of time for all the references to keto here, but that was the literal reason behind our choice of Bonfire Wood Fire Cooking in Woodbury as our date night destination.

When your diet consists of meat, cheese, select vegetables and sauces it makes a bun-less burger your go-to (and safest bet) when out to eat. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good burger, but this time we decided to choose a restaurant that would offer us a bunch of hearty, low carb options.

Tattersall Distilling | Northeast Minneapolis

Tattersall Distilling Northeast Minneapolis
Standard

I am obsessed with Tattersall Distiling in NE Minneapolis and cannot believe I have never written a full on review of them considering it is probably the place I most frequently recommend to people when they ask me where they should check out in Northeast. It is time to right that wrong. Continue reading

Edwards Dessert Kitchen | Minneapolis

Edwards Dessert Kitchen North Loop Minneapolis
Standard

There is hanging out at a coffee shop and then there is Edwards Dessert Kitchen.  I’ve been to some really stunning coffee shops, and while I know this probably doesn’t classify as a “coffee shop,” that vibe feels like it fits more than what you would expect at a traditional bakery. It’s not only adorable inside and home of some amazing coffee (and I’m assured amazing sweets), it is now my new favorite place to take a mid-day field trip. Continue reading

Red Rabbit | North Loop Minneapolis

Red Rabbit North Loop Minneapolis
Standard

My new downtown work life means that I’m surrounded by many bars I haven’t heard of and restaurants I haven’t had a chance to get to yet. My first time at Red Rabbit was a couple years ago for my birthday where I was a bougie bitch and ordered Oysters so I was excited to go for lunch, because I finally got to be one of those people who met up for a “quick lunch around the corner” with their friends who also work downtown, and also because I was excited to try something else at the Red Rabbit!

Harriet Brasserie | Minneapolis

Lake Harriet Brasserie Minneapolis
Standard

I was excited to try a new brunch spot based off a recommendation from one of my coworkers. She loves brunch as much as I do, so when she recommended Harriet Brasserie, I knew it was worth a try! Luckily, I also have some great copilots who were game as well! Continue reading

Isles Bun and Coffee | Uptown Minneapolis

Isle Bun and Coffee Uptown Minneapolis
Standard

Isles Bun and Coffee is known for their well, buns 🙂 With my week off it’s been the perfect time to jet off into cute little bakeries and shops that I wouldn’t normally get to on a weekend. Isles Bun and Coffee, which I’ve been incorrectly referring to as “Isles of Buns,” which to be fair I think would be a much better name haha, definitely lived up to the hype.

Red Cow | Uptown Minneapolis

Red Cow Uptown Minneapolis
Standard

A couple weeks ago I was giddy when I realized it was #NationalGrilledCheeseDay. My giddiness amplified when I texted my friend to meet for lunch and she happened to be at Red Cow in Uptown Minneapolis…exactly the place that a couple coworkers told me that same morning had a phenomenal Grilled Cheese. Clearly I was meant to have this Grilled Cheese (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it).

Blue Door Pub | Uptown Minneapolis

Blue Door Pub Uptown Minneapolis
Standard

My life was changed on April 4th at 4:09 PM when a photo of Blue Door Pub‘s Lobster Mac Totchos appeared in my timeline. It took two weeks to get there (yes, those 2 weeks were pure agony and no, I do not think I am being overdramatic…ok maybe a little), but we finally made it and while it was worth the wait, I wouldn’t recommend waiting too much longer, since it’s a limited time special!

Taco Teresa’s | Plymouth, MN

Taco Teresa's Cactus Taco
Standard

Taco Teresa’s is the new fast casual Mexican restaurant from the owner of the Minnesota chain; Teresa’s Mexican Restaurant. My obsession with tacos and queso dip coupled with the dangerously close proximity of Taco Teresa’s to my office meant I was basically a bi-weekly regular and now that I have accepted a new job opportunity and will no longer be around the corner, this Hipster Hack will have to serve as both my homage and my swan song haha.
