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. Blake Hagert, owner/partner with Bullvino’s, said the restaurant is a family-owned and locally-owned Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, rooted in the gaucho tradition of southern Brazil. “Our founder, Marcio de Morais, was born in Rio Grande do Sul, the birthplace of gaucho culture, and opened our first restaurant in St. Paul in 2019 to bring that tradition to Minnesota," he said. “The name says what we're about. ‘Bull’ is for the premium cuts we hand select, and ‘Vinos’ is for the wine tradition of South America.” Dinner is churrasco style, the way it's done in Brazil. “Our gauchos fire roast up to 21 cuts over open flame, bring them to your table on the skewer and carve them right in front of you. That includes picanha, the signature cut of Brazilian churrasco,” Hagert said. He noted that each diner gets a two-sided medallion. One side will let the gauchos keep bringing food and the red

B-Dubs a GO in Waconia as new site opens doors

Buffalo Wild Wings GO has opened a new restaurant at 144 Depot Drive in Waconia, the brand’s latest expansion in Minnesota as it pursues franchise growth across the state. Locally owned and operated by Matt Knodt and Lacey Pavek, the newest Buffalo Wild Wings GO location is the first in Waconia. BWWGO is built around takeout and delivery, so it’s a smaller version of B-Dubs serving the same wings, sauces and dry rubs Minnesotans have known from Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, say the owners. The smaller GO format allows it to reach towns like Waconia that never fit a full sports bar, company officials said. “Minnesota has been home to Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, and GO is giving us a new way to grow the brand in communities across the state,” said John Dawson, president of U.S. development at Inspire Brands. “Waconia is a great example of how well GO’s smaller format fits a growing community, and markets such as St. Paul, St. Cloud, Alexandria and Red Wing offer the same kind of opportunity. We’re excited to partner with operators who want to be part of GO’s next chapter in Minnesota.” With more than 220 standalone locations open

Minnetonka’s Heavenly Hunks Introduces Dupe Loops

The mini donuts join the brand’s allergen-friendly lineup of snacks. Heavenly Hunks evolved out of a simple mission: to create a cookie for everyone. Founder Casey Webber adapted his recipe for soft-baked oatmeal cookies to be vegan and gluten-free so his mom and sister could enjoy them too. Now, over a decade later, Heavenly Hunks is available nationwide, and the Minnetonka-based brand has introduced a new but equally inclusive snack for people with dietary sensitivities.

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. (This period happened to coincide with Ullsperger's collegiate football career at the University of North Dakota.)

St. Paul’s Bewick is the Cadillac of All-Day Cafes

When Nicole Pederson-Bates and her husband, Andrew Bates, went to name their new St. Paul cafe, one obvious inspiration presented itself: the Bewick’s wren. The wren, whose name is pronounced like the car manufacturer, is a small, light brown, North American bird with a long tail it waves around a lot. These rare wrens form monogamous pairs and forage together, eventually building a nest along with their mates. Pederson-Bates, chef-owner of Bewick, and Bates, her managing partner, were building the cafe together in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood they call home; the name just made sense.
