Watcho the Camacho
muf·fu·let·ta [muhf-uh-let-uh]
–noun
a thick, round sandwich similar to a hero, typically containing ham, salami, and cheeses and topped with an olive salad, a specialty of New Orleans

No, this isn’t some reference to the Saturday Night Live skit. Fish in a box is actually one of the foods that I absolutely crave from my experience in South America. The actual title on the menu was pez en un caja hierro, translated ‘fish in an iron box’. And it was just that. Simple [...]

I was craving a burger so I talked Kyle and Carly into going out with me tonight. We did not, however, frequent on of our mainstay burger joints such as Ike’s or The Nook. Instead, we went somewhere we hadn’t been before, The Convention Grill in Edina. I had read some reviews about this place [...]

Brasa has received a lot of ink (and keystrokes) recently, and deservedly so. From its organic ingredients and comfort food to its intimate seating, this Southern/Jamaican-hybrid restaurant keeps me coming back for more.

Small, green and packed with flavor, capers are one of my favorite ingredients that I keep on hand all the times. Not everyone likes capers, but I personally think their salty, pickled flavor can add the right amount of punch to dish to take it over the top.

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.

4. Post the [...]

Kyle invited a few friends over after work on Friday to indulge in a bourbon tasting experience. You might ask “why?” and I would answer “good question…” The truth of it is, actually, that he has challenged himself to 30 days of bourbon drinking, hoping that he will acquire a taste for it. Honestly, that’s [...]

The Birchwood Cafe has long been serious about their food. With organic ingredients and homemade dishes they have lived up to their “Good Real Food” motto. Breakfast specialties like free-range egg scramblers, homemade organic granola and other sweet treats such as poppy seed waffles with fruit toppings have set them apart from the rest. Lunch [...]

I live in Minneapolis and I love food. Seemingly separate thoughts…but they are very connected during the last week in February.
Two masterminds of the Minneapolis scene on food and needless spending came together last year and launched the first ever “Best of the Best Restaurant Week.” That’s right - Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and [...]
