This Minnesota Italian Restaurant Serves Bread and Dipping Oil So Good You’ll Forget About The Main Course

Most restaurants treat the bread basket as a warm-up act. At one small Italian kitchen in Burnsville, the bread and dipping oil are the headliners, and plenty of diners admit they barely save room for the pasta. The basket keeps coming back to the table, which makes self-control a real...

This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.

This Bustling Minnesota Italian Restaurant Has Pasta Lovers Coming Back for More

Some restaurants earn a single visit, and others become a habit. This one belongs firmly in the second group. Tucked into the North Loop of Minneapolis, it has built a loyal following of pasta fans who plan birthdays, business dinners, and casual weeknights around its tables. Getting a reservation can feel like a small victory, and plenty of locals simply grab a seat at the bar and call it a night well spent.

Northern Kitchen (Bloomington, MN)

The Twin Cities has not historically had much of a regional Chinese restaurant scene. There’ve been some very good Sichuan restaurants in the metro over the years (Grand Szechuan and Legendary Spice, most notably) and there are some acceptable dim sum options—depending on how charitable/cranky you’re feeling (Jade Dynasty and Yangtze are the best of the bunch). But there’s not much else beyond that of note. Or so I thought till this past summer when blog reader Michael C emailed me to recommend two Chinese restaurants I had not previously heard of. The one that particularly caught my eye was Northern Kitchen. This both because it’s located in Bloomington—a little closer to us than the Cities proper—and because their specialty is Northern Chinese cuisine. Given the rigors of my summer travels and then the start of my college term, it took us a while to get out there. We liked our first lunch—eaten the weekend before last—so much that we went back again this past weekend to eat more of the menu. Here’s a quick look at both meals.

This Minnesota Restaurant Sets A Two-Hour Timer And Keeps Bringing Unlimited Grilled Meat Until It Runs Out

A robot shaped like a cat might roll up to your table with a tray of raw meat, and that’s only one part of the plan. Somebody starts a two-hour clock, and the grill in front of you becomes your personal project. I love the logic here. You pay...

In Small-Town Lester Prairie, Near Hutchinson, Garbers’ Meats Is A Butcher Shop Worth The Drive Through Minnesota Farm Country

Smoked salmon is one of the most talked-about items at a small butcher shop in the middle of Minnesota corn country. That alone made me stop scrolling. The surprises keep stacking up. This little meat counter also turns out jerky, cheddar brats, old-fashioned wieners, and bologna with a loyal following.
