Minneapolis and Minneapolis Metro
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
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!

Tacos are the ultimate “safe place” when it comes to stepping out of your comfort zone. Hundreds of different ingredients and unique flavor profiles start with the simple magic of a hand held corn tortilla.
I first started this blog as a way to keep myself motivated to try new places, but I can honestly say I wasn’t very adventurous with my food choices until I became addicted to tacos. They are small enough that you feel completely comfortable trying out a new flavor, because it’s basically sacrilege to only have one anyway!
For Taco Tuesday I’m going to be gushing over Sonora Grill Minneapolis so I recommend not reading this on an empty stomach.
Sonora Grill first started in the Midtown Global Market and serve up a variety of “Scratch America and Spanish infusion cuisine.”
On our recent crawl around Northeast we made it a point to cross the river and finally visit Pryes Brewing Company.
This Brewery/taproom is beautiful. I know that it’s pretty typical at this point for breweries to be popping up in warehouses with high ceilings and lots of exposed metal tops, but there was just something a little extra that I can’t exactly define that set this place above the rest.

I’ve been stalking the opening of La Doña Cerveceria all summer so when they announced their Grand Opening a couple weekends ago I was ready.
La Doña Cerveceria’s mission is “to celebrate the vibrancy, breadth and depth of Latino and Minnesotan culture through superior product and customer experience as a fully operational brewery and community/event center, while raising awareness of and providing support to social, economic, and environmental issues that impact us all.”
Their space definitely does that.
Now through December, Lawless Distilling Company is the home of one of 50 Holiday pop-ups around the country, originating in New York City, that features hilariously named Christmakkuh drinks. The event is called “Miracle at Lawless,” and although it did require a bit of a wait to get in, due to the low capacity, which is something people who live in Minnesota are just not known to tolerate doing during the winter, the mild weather made it an ok night to stand under the heater and shoot shit with the bouncer until it was our turn to elbow our way through the crowd.

Scoring a reservation within 7 days at Young Joni is the equivalent of a modern day miracle. Ranked as one of the best new restaurants in America by GQ, their food lives up to the hype.

While Northeast does have many things, one thing that seems pretty lacking is Sports Bars. Besides Stanley’s, every other location is pretty dive or niche. So the triumphant opening of Bunny’s Bar & Grill NE was actually pretty exciting, not to mention their location in St. Louis Park has such a cult following from many of my suburb friends.
Having opened the week before Superbowl Sunday, they were not only my choice location to explain Football to our visiting British friend, but they were also my choice place to celebrate Adult Easter (seemed fitting) and continue to remain one of my favorite weekend beverage destinations.

Brunch is my favorite weekend pasttime, so when it was suggested that a group of us should meet at Urban Eatery for bloodies and brunch I was beyond ecstatic.
While they did have a Bloody Mary Bar, I was struggling that morning and decided that it was better for everyone involved if it came to me pre-made. It was delicious. Just enough flavor and spice to make it memorable, but not too much for me to not enjoy it. It also comes with garnish, and since it took our group a while to stop talking long enough to look at the menu and actually order, the snacks were much needed haha. Continue reading
I have really been slacking on my Food Truck game this summer, so I’m pleased to share my review of Simply Steve’s Foodtruck, which was enjoyed while I was belly’d up in the Indeed taproom. Continue reading
