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...

Visit The Little Minnesota Town Where One Of Your Favorite Movies Was Filmed

Somewhere between the Minnesota River and a whole lot of charm, Henderson has been quietly waiting for you to show up. This tiny town of fewer than a thousand people sits about an hour southwest of Minneapolis, and it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with the big city in the first place.

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.

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.

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.)
