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...

A former Chipotle supervisor who once trained new crews across the Twin Cities is opening his fifth Que Taco restaurant in St. Paul on November 14, filling a former Starbucks at 300 Snelling Avenue with trompo-roasted meats, handmade corn tortillas and a goal of reaching ten locations in the coming years.

Meet the Bookers: 6 Concert Pros Who Fill Twin Cities Venues With Talent

If you’ve seen a good band lately (or even a lousy one), caught a rap show, or danced all night at a club, a booker helped make it happen. Whether they call themselves that, or prefer something more official like "talent buyer" or more upscale with “programming” in the title, these are the folks who make sure local stages are stocked with talent. They can be the difference between seeing your favorite new act or seeing that a tour has scooched right past Minnesota on its way from Chicago to Seattle.

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.

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.
