This Minnesota Underground Cave System Was Once A Mine, Then A Mushroom Farm, And Later A Gangster Hideout

Tour guides still point out bullet holes from an unsolved gangland shooting inside a sandstone cave nightclub. I noticed that the shooting is only one chapter in a very strange story. The same hand-carved tunnels once supplied sand for glass. Later, they grew mushrooms by the ton. One detail I...

This Old-School Minnesota Steakhouse Still Cooks Steaks Over Charcoal And Serves Classic Relish Trays

Your steak here hits open charcoal broilers, and a tray of marinated peppers and tomatoes lands on the table before you even order. That’s the kind of welcome I can get behind. Warm garlic toast comes along too, grilled until it picks up a little char. Soft rye bread...

Homer no function beer well without

Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis. Standing before the city council on Thursday, Peterson’s bid to become the permanent police chief was denied by an 8-5 vote. The driving concern among the no votes was concern about his ability to drive reform in the department.

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.

Mickey’s Diner By Willy Serves Classic American Breakfasts 24/7 In A Railroad Dining Car Replica On St. Paul’s West 7th Street

Some kitchens in St. Paul close their doors when the dinner rush ends. One small spot on West 7th Street simply never got the memo. Its grill stays on through the late show, the early shift, the airport arrival, and the 3 a.m. hunger pang that nobody planned for. The building itself looks like it rolled off a train track and decided to stay.
