Bargain Bites: Burger Mondays at A-Side Public House

Kyle here. It's not unheard of to pay $12 for a beer — so when I heard St. Paul's A-Side Public House will also toss in a burger and fries for that price, I was there. Dig in: Axios reader Brittany flagged me to A-Side's Burger Monday deal, which comes with any craft beer on the menu — normally an $8 value. This was no cheap lager; I drank a hazy IPA. What to expect: A perfectly decent, single-patty burger — complete with a buttered bun and a tangy sauce — and a generous portion of crispy, fluffy fries. Not bad for, effectively, four extra bucks (before tax and tip). Plus: A-Side also offers a "kids eat free" deal on Sunday nights, Brittany notes. 📣 Know a good meal deal/steal we should feature in the newsletter? Let us know at twincities@axios.com.

These 11 Minnesota Gluten-Free Bakeries Make Desserts So Good Nobody Misses The Wheat

Finding a great gluten-free dessert in Minnesota used to mean settling for something dry, crumbly, or sad. Not anymore. Across the Twin Cities and out into small towns like Sauk Rapids, Maple Lake, and Paynesville, bakers are turning out cinnamon rolls, pop tarts, cupcakes, mini donuts, and layer cakes that hold their own against anything made with wheat. Some of these spots are fully dedicated gluten-free kitchens, which matters a lot if you have celiac disease.
