For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections.

Homer no function beer well without

Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis. Standing before the city council on Thursday, Peterson’s bid to become the permanent police chief was denied by an 8-5 vote. The driving concern among the no votes was concern about his ability to drive reform in the department.

Popular coffee chain offers rare NeeDohs, causes traffic jams

Popular coffee drive-thru franchise 7 Brew recently got into some “hot water” after selling limited-edition NeeDohs that caused traffic and chaos earlier this fall. The business idea was a success since it brought in lots of customers, but based on the overwhelming response, it’s likely that franchise owners didn’t expect so many people to show up.

Next Year a Twin Cities Brewery is Going Full ‘Simpsons’ Mode

Growing up in '90s suburban Milwaukee, Dan Ullsperger would record syndicated Simpsons reruns on VHS, studying them like holy comedic texts. As the DVDs, ripe with so much fan-service commentary, arrived in the '00s, he secured every available season, one through 20.

PopUp Bagels does the rounds in Minneapolis

When I committed to Macalester, I knew I was coming to a place missing two staples from Long Island, N.Y., where I grew up: New York pizza and bagels. Over the two years that I have been in the Twin Cities, I have ventured to find New York-style pizza and bagels. While my search for a true New York slice has come up empty, my bagel quest has been an endeavor.
