Hello, Friday…so nice to see you!
MN friends. The Juicy Lucy. Discuss…
Non-MN friends. The Juicy Lucy. Thoughts? Have you been blessed enough to experience such amazingness? If you aren’t familiar I’ll give you the lowdown. It’s a burger thats filled with cheese on the inside. And a burger thats been owned and treasured by the Twin Cities for as long as I can recall. You’ve got legendary places like this that have absolutely hit the nail on the head with showing folks how a classic Juicy Lucy is done. And then there’s spots like this that take the concept of the Juicy Lucy and run with it. The stuffed cheese is accompanied by things like bacon, caramelized onions, pepperoni, sauces of all sorts, peppers…the list could go on. Continue reading

How was the weekend? It’s officially spring, friends..congratulations..you’ve made it! I’m feeling awfully grateful that ‘technical’ winter is behind us…now if we could just get these temps (and random bouts of snow) out of the equation.
So with spring comes lighter food, which I am feeling so ready for. You know I’m all about soups, stews and gratins but there comes a point in time when a change of food is in order…and around here our changes in food tend to come and go with the seasons. Continue reading
