It’s everyone’s favorite time of year – wrapped season! This year we traveled from east coast to west coast in search of the best food we could find. Some people travel for sightseeing and tourism, others for relaxation and rejuvenation, and even others to visit family and friends. We travel strictly with one goal: go…
Oops!…Chef Daniel Del Prado Did it Again
Minneapolis’ hottest neighborhood at the moment continues to gain popularity by restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, and city dwellers. Its vibrant community is filled with innovation and bold ideas, perfect for new restaurants, bars, and entertainment experiences. Recently, okay… not so recently anymore #SorryForTheLateBlog, an Argentinian restaurant, Porzana, opened on the corner of North 1st and North 2nd…
An Amusing Night at Travail
As I’m sure we all know, Minnesota doesn’t have any Michelin-starred restaurants, and not because we don’t have a good food scene, but more likely because Michelin doesn’t come here. And to that we say they’re missing out! If the Twin Cities were to have any Michelin restaurants, Travail Kitchen and Amusements would be at…
A Colorful Brunch at Khâluna for Pride
I don’t know how we missed the memo, but Khâluna has a brunch, and it may have been around for awhile. Chef Ann Ahmed has been popping off with restaurants, starting with the recently closed Lemon Grass Thai, then Lat14 Asian Eatery in 2018, Khâluna in 2021, and now Gai Noi about a month ago…
Found the Lamb Sauce at Maison Margaux
North Loop has a hot new French restaurant by Chef David Fhima, owner of Fhima’s in downtown Minneapolis. Maison Margaux opened on May 12th, so of course we had to go as soon as we could before other people could share their opinions. Ever since starting this blog, we’ve come to realize how ridiculous we…
Taking the Road Back Home to Kalsada’s
Located where the late St. Augustine’s used to be, this restaurant made us nostalgic of our old stomping grounds in St. Paul. Kalsada opened just over a year ago in 2022 and we are so thankful it did. It’s owned by Twin Cities restauranteurs, Leah Raymundo and John Occhiato, who are notably known for founding…
A Boozy Night at Petite Leon
Like everyone else, I got in on the hype as soon as New York Times posted their top 50 restaurants for 2022, and it was well deserved. Although that came out almost 9 months ago, Amy has yet to go, so of course we had to make a special reservation. This is also the kick-off…
Young Joni Enters the Brunch Scene
We just want to start by saying how grateful we are that so many restaurants in the Twin Cities have recently announced brunch menus for the summer, including Blondette, Petite Leon, Mito, and of course Young Joni. There’s nothing better than a boozy brunch and some greasy food after the nights out we’re planning to…
