We’re in Toronto this weekend and last night ventured down to Roncesvalles Ave (the Polish neighborhood – I felt so at home!). We ate at a little spot called Buddah Dog, where they specialize in hot dogs. Yes, you heard me. And these are not some sloppy dogs boiled in questionable water, oh no sir-ee. [...]

A Last Ditch Effort at the Restaurant Scene
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Restaurant on October 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Brent and I have been eating out a lot these last few weeks, as we prepare for Baby Swanson’s arrival. This is as much a product of my dwindling desire to spend time on my feet in the kitchen as it is our desire to be out and a part of the world before we [...]
Who visits Montreal in January?
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Friends, Restaurant, Travel on January 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, we did. We just got back from a fantastic trip to Montreal, and despite a surge of super-cold weather near the end, it was a perfectly lovely weekend. Though we were there to see the sights with friends and had a 15-month old in tow, we managed to eat our way through the city [...]

Just a quick post to start getting back into blogging post-Christmas – Brent and I met friends at the Midtown Global Market on Friday night for dinner. I know I am the last foodie in Minneapolis to discover this place, but I was so impressed. I have no idea what took me so long to [...]
Bouchon Las Vegas

Last week we were in Las Vegas with friends, and for a special treat we booked into Bouchon at the Venetian, the Thomas Keller property in Sin City. It was a truly great meal, due in large part to the warm, beautiful setting (classic bistro setting that took me instantly back to my last visit [...]
The Green Life in the Mill City District

The Mill City Farmer’s Market is open again in Minneapolis, and Brent and I headed down on Saturday to stock up on meats from the organic butchers that we met there last year. We are big fans of Callister Farms (for their awesome chickens) and Braucher’s Sunshine Harvest Farm (for the beef and lamb.) There [...]

A View of the Mississippi RIver from the Guthrie Theater Originally uploaded by brennifer. The new Guthrie Theater has bars on just about every level, including one just before you go out on the cantilever bridge to overlook the Mississippi. The view was great, but even better with a glass of pinot gris.
Eating My Way Through NOLA

My company sent me to a marketing conference in New Orleans this week, and I was happy to enjoy the fabulous food and drink provided by the conference hosts and the city at large. I hadn’t been back since Katrina, and though I had limited time to venture out of the hotel (and I didn’t [...]
Bagna Cauda – Who Knew

Last night, Brent and I went out for dinner at the Modern Cafe in Minneapolis, which is one of our favorite spots for breakfast but we often forget how deeply satisfying their dinner menu is. I have to say that I was filled with a certain glee to see how busy the joint was all [...]
Restaurant Week: Adventures in Cauliflower
Posted in Recipes, Restaurant, Salad and Veggies on March 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Brent points out that my last post was about broccoli, and with this post I threaten getting pigeon-holed in the cruciferous vegetable arena. But I am throwing caution to the wind and writing about it despite this risk, because this week at D’Amico Cucina I had the most transcendent soup experience and I just had [...]
