Watcho the Camacho
Last Saturday night after seeing “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” at the Grandview Theater in St. Paul, Kyle and I were hungry. Just down on Grand Avenue a short distance was Khyber Pass Cafe, a perfect place for a late night dinner. I really had no expectations for Khyber Pass, as I had never had [...]

I headed to St. Paul on Saturday afternoon to get some Nookie…(get your mind out of the gutter, I was after a burger from The Nook). Unfortunately, The Nook was extremely busy so we decided to go a few miles away to the Shamrock Grill on West 7th, where they have The Nook burgers on [...]

Saturday night Kyle and I had dinner plans with my in-laws. We wanted to take them somewhere fun with good food, so we decided on El Mesón, a Spanish-Caribbean restaurant in south Minneapolis. We had been there a few times before and had always loved it. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to our [...]

It was Sunday and breakfast was the main priority. I didn’t care where we went, as long as there would be eggs. At the precise moment when Kyle made a suggestion of where we should go, we received a text from our friend The Freets. He and his lovely wife Sue were headed to Day [...]

I know this is old hat to many of you, but I just wanted to share my excitement that Maxwell’s is back! It seems unbelieveable that just seven months ago, Maxwell’s was shut down due to a fire that started on the third floor in a storage area (as reported by Ed here), where there [...]

One of my favorite lunch spots is Cecil’s Deli in Highland Park, St. Paul. I love this place! We happened upon Cecil’s several years ago after my dad (who lives out of state) got a recommendation from someone about a restaurant that serves the BEST rueben in the Twin Cites. Although he wasn’t sure of [...]

After reading a quick blurb about the new Nepalanese restaurant in South Minneapolis, I knew I had to try it. So even though I had plans to make dinner and have a low-key night at home on Friday, I quickly changed the plans and convinced Kyle that we had to go. And off we went [...]

I could eat Mexican food for every meal every day. Honestly, I could…in fact I believe I have done that for a week or so at a time. I think Mexican food is simply irresistible and addicting. My former loves for Mexican food were quesadillas and enchiladas. In more recent years, however, I have rediscovered [...]

When thinking of Philadelphia, I naturally think of Philly cheesesteak, the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence. After that, however, nothing much comes to mind. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised by the food scene that I experienced while there.
When traveling to another town, I’m usually the first one to do research to [...]

It was a fish taco-off this weekend, as I finally tried the fish tacos at Tin Fish. My regular craving and favorite fish taco is from Sea Salt, the seasonal, seafood-only restaurant at Minnehaha Falls. The perfect summer day would be spent with a basket of grilled tilapia tacos and a pitcher of Summit. Ahhh…
Tin [...]
