I recently took at look at what Mexican restaurants are most popular with Urbanspoon users in the Twin Cities to see what people seem to be enjoying these days. I’ve included the top-75 below. Why 75? It turns out that the reality based, quisling community has 74 restaurants that they enjoy more than the first [...]
Maybe this exists everywhere already, but it’s new to me. A coffee shop in Toronto had a printer available for printing by WiFi users. The printer lists a URL where customers can upload their files. They’re sent from the website to the printer in the coffee shop for fulfillment. The quantity of prints and credit [...]
The Dairy Queen at 4740 Minnehaha Avenue is definitely gone. As I understand it, they plan to rebuild a new larger location at the same spot. Stotko Speedling Contruction, who’s sign is posted on the site, previously built a DQ at 50th & Drew. There was quite a bit of debate a couple years ago [...]
What’s the first thing you’d want to eat after spending some time in the slammer? Clearly, a hot dog from The Wienery. Check out the wristbands above the counter. While waiting for my bacon-wrapped Mexican style hot dog to arrive, I noticed that 1981 is a popular year of birth on the wristbands. At 5’10″, [...]
Where to spend the money? One can spend just over a dollar a day for a gym membership way up on the 2nd floor of this Vancover office building. Or, destroy a donut daily from Tim Horton’s. Welcome to the real world.

That’s a big part of the appeal of making the trip out there from the more urban areas of the Twin Cities. Which makes me wonder how the heck they approved this new Dairy Queen on Main Street: [...]
CityPages.com has integrated a relatively new feature called LikeMe where, as the name implies, they attempt to create venue recommendations for places to eat, drink, and do things based on what people “LikeMe” do. In theory, it’s a great idea for a restaurant review website or website feature. However, here are a few things you [...]
Carly and I hit The Craftsman last night for an excellent dinner only blocks from our house on East Lake St. We started with the charcuterie plate. Starting on the right going clockwise that’s rabbit, pig, pig, pig, duck liver. Carly went with the butternut squash pasta (delicious): I rocked the rack of lamb (perfectly [...]
This is my new favorite munchie in Longfellow. Sambusas at 1st Cup Cafe: It’s a pastry . . . with meat! Love it. Kind of a Somali version of an empanada. They come in two kinds: Meat & Fish. 1st Cup Cafe is located at 2740 Minnehaha Ave S, Minneapolis, MN, which puts it between [...]
My friend Kyle was off fries for all of 2008, so come 2009 he decided he needed to do something significant to celebrate that milestone. (It should be noted that Kyle did lick a fry at Matt’s one night, and still ate tots.) This led to Fry-Day, which was originally scheduled for a Friday but [...]
