This Minnesota Restaurant Is Bringing Back The Old-Fashioned All-You-Can-Eat Experience

How long does a salad bar have to be before it needs its own zip code? This one stretches 50 feet, which feels less like a buffet line and more like a short scenic hike.

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.
