New French Bakery plans 56,000 sf plant →
New French Bakery is planning to build a new 56,000 square-foot bakery at 2600 Minnehaha Ave. S. in Minneapolis. New French, which already operates two commercial bakeries in Minneapolis, received preliminary approval this week from the city’s Planning Commission to build the new facility. New French still must work out an agreement to acquire the industrial site from the city.
Minneapolis Election 2009
Hey, did you know there is an election next week? And there is actually some importance here in the great city of Minneapolis.
First, it’s the opening day of Ranked Choice Voting 2009, so be prepared for a lot of confused voters.
Second, Minneapolis is voting on whether or not to get rid of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, while also electing two new members. Obviously, most of the...

What can you tell me about the ‘Jucy Lucy’ (sic) that I didn’t learn from Man Vs Food?
They looked pretty tasty to me…
Fighting words in these parts is the argument over who makes the best Jucy/Juicy Lucy. I didn’t see the Man Vs Food episode, but the bottom line is the cheese in these things is molton freaking hot, and can/will burn your face off. I...

Pitchfork: The Hold Steady's Craig Finn Co-Writing... →
As much as any writer in America, Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn is equipped to tackle provincial fandom of hair metal. He’s an expert at combining screamingly triumphant guitar solos and bleary Minnesota hardcore show reminisces in the same song. So it’s pretty awesome news that Finn, along with “Late Show With David Letterman” writer Tom Ruprecht, will adapt Fargo Rock...

Washington Post Reviews The Craftsman (43rd and E... →
The menu at Craftsman in Minneapolis does not shout “Local!” The restaurant’s beet-and-goat cheese terrine, duck leg confit and potato gnocchi are the kind of dishes you could find at a contemporary American outpost … frankly, just about anywhere. But a tip from a trusted food friend steered me to the place last month, and all it took for me to change my mind about the...

Foursquare Cred.
edkohler:
I improved my urban cred by losing my Redstone mayorship to @Bencredible today while picking up Chris & Robs on 42nd St E. And, I got a free t-shirt thanks to Brian’s shout-out.
That shout-out may have been Brian’s biggest regret today since it reminded me to out him as mayor at Chris & Rob’s. Hold onto Longfellow Grill and Baker’s Wife while you can, man. I’m coming for...
