We’re the creators of Take Us to Dinner First! Why? We’ve been best friends, broskis, and foodies since the dawn of our friendship. Everything we do revolves around where and what we’re going to eat. Traveling to a new city? Our travel itinerary solely focuses on trying new restaurants with tasting menus, placing a reservation at restaurants with various accolades, or simply discovering a unique food experience. Hitting the town? Better find a fire restaurant to stop at first. Bored? Let’s sit at the bar of an aesthetically-pleasing restaurant and chit chat with the bartenders. We will take advantage of every opportunity we have to go out to eat. Restaurant Week, a week-long event that happens three times a year, is our favorite holiday to celebrate.

This blog came to fruition on a whim. Within two hours of first conceptualizing the idea, we purchased the web domain and began ideating what this site would turn into. One thing about us is when we’re inspired by something, we go all in. So please, take a seat, grab a treat, and enjoy our take on popular, up-and-coming, and everything-in-between restaurants. Stick around and you might just find your new favorite local spot!

The real inspiration behind this blog is you. For as long as we can remember, our family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and sometimes strangers have always come to us first when they need any sort of restaurant recommendation. At this point, they’ve boosted our egos so high that we’ve become bloggers, ready to take Minnesota by storm.
