The owner of this barbecue joint builds his own smokers as a hobby. Then he fires them with oak, hickory, and cherry wood, and there isn’t a gas grill in sight. He spent 15 years perfecting one dry-rub blend. He also studied barbecue masters across Texas before bringing those lessons home to Minnesota.

For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections. Blake Hagert, owner/partner with Bullvino’s, said the restaurant is a family-owned and locally-owned Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, rooted in the gaucho tradition of southern Brazil. “Our founder, Marcio de Morais, was born in Rio Grande do Sul, the birthplace of gaucho culture, and opened our first restaurant in St. Paul in 2019 to bring that tradition to Minnesota," he said. “The name says what we're about. ‘Bull’ is for the premium cuts we hand select, and ‘Vinos’ is for the wine tradition of South America.” Dinner is churrasco style, the way it's done in Brazil. “Our gauchos fire roast up to 21 cuts over open flame, bring them to your table on the skewer and carve them right in front of you. That includes picanha, the signature cut of Brazilian churrasco,” Hagert said. He noted that each diner gets a two-sided medallion. One side will let the gauchos keep bringing food and the red

Mistakes pile up as Knights football is eliminated

St. Michael-Albertville football's momentum stopped after a first-round upset to Woodbury, as Rosemount beat them in the round of 16 to end their season in the state tournament. The Knights crushed the Royals in the first round, winning on the road as the six-seed over the three-seed in Woodbury. On Nov. 6, the Knights lost to Rosemount 35-7, not repeating the upset from last season or last week and falling to the No. 2 team in their quadrant of the bracket. The first half was all Rosemount. The Irish scored three times in the first half to make it 21-0 over the Knights. In the second quarter, the Knights showed signs of life when down 14-0. After a punt, the Irish fumbled on the ensuing drive thanks to forced fumble by defensive back Kyan Beaumont. Beaumont and the Knights took over on their opponent's 24 and drove down inside the Irish 10. A costly fumble coughed up a golden opportunity for the Knights offense to cut the lead in half with the first half time ticking down. The Irish capitalized and scored once more before the break. The second half had as much scoring, but the Knights joined the fray

Maple Grove hopes for grant for 82nd Avenue/Main Street project

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Maple Grove City Council approved support of the city’s Local Road Improvement Program grant application for funding for the 82nd Avenue and Main Street Area Rehabilitation Project. In May 2025, the council initially approved improvements to Main Street between Lakeview Drive and Weaver Lake Road, Lakeview Drive and 82nd Avenue (near Life Time and the Maple Grove Library). These plans were paused after developments at the Maple Grove Community Center and a possible performing arts center area. A feasibility report was ordered in February. The plans for the area includes new bituminous roadways, roundabouts at Main Street and 82nd Avenue and Main Street and Lakeview Drive, walking paths along the roadways, and new landscaping. These improvements would help with future traffic flows from the Maple Grove Community Center’s expansion and the Maple Grove Performing Arts Center located in the road project area. Proposed construction costs for the project area estimated at $5.95 million. City staff is looking to apply for $1.5 million in MnDOT 2026 Local Road Improvement Program grant funds to help pay for the project. According to city staff, “The grant program provides funding assistance to local agencies for constructing or reconstructing

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.

Elks shut out by Monticello in Section 7-5A championship

The No. 2-seeded Elk River football team saw its season come to an end with a 23-0 loss to top-seeded Monticello in the Section 7-5A championship Friday, Nov. 6, in Monticello. In a game in which both teams controlled the ball for extended stretches and scoring opportunities were limited, two Elk River turnovers proved costly against a talented Monticello team. The shutout was Elk River’s first in more than 14 years, dating back to a September 2012 loss to Totino-Grace. Monticello opened the scoring on its first possession, marching 74 yards in 12 plays before Max Lofgren scored on a 13-yard run with 6:26 remaining in the first quarter. Carson Deibele ran in the two-point conversion to give the Magic an 8-0 lead. Elk River responded with a promising drive, moving 51 yards in 12 plays to the Monticello 21-yard line as the first quarter ended. However, a fumble on the first play of the second quarter ended the threat, giving the Magic possession at its own 13. Monticello capitalized, driving 87 yards in 10 plays and scoring on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Deibele to Johnny Moore with 7:12 remaining in the half. Deibele and Moore connected again on
