SCENE NOVEMBER - Mexican restaurants bring the heat and flavor in Southern Minnesota

When I was a 7-year-old youngster growing up in North Mankato, the Pfau family opened Mankato’s first Taco John’s. Though my family heritage is traced primarily to ancestors from the British Isles, I was the beneficiary of parents who were enthusiastic cross-cultural eaters. (I could have easily done without my dad’s predilection for braunschweiger sandwiches though.) And while my mom was an experienced cook with Depression-era roots who could whip up terrific and economical entrées on the fly, she was also a busy public school teacher who never hesitated to pick up fast food or suggest our family eat dinner at Happy Chef or Country Kitchen when she was just too tired to produce a made-from-scratch meal at the end of a long work day.

Since 1928, The Same Family Has Rolled Old-Fashioned Candy Canes By Hand In Minnesota

Somewhere in Minnesota, a family has been twisting peppermint candy canes by hand since 1928. Not stamped out by some giant machine, but rolled and shaped the slow, old-fashioned way. That alone made me curious. Then I learned the same shop sells chocolate-covered caramel treats called Alligators and keeps a...
