Just a quick shout-out for our friends at Everyday cook/wines/lunch. They’ve got their nice new blog up and the best part about it is they put the daily lunch menu online. So while you’re eating your peanut butter and jelly for lunch at your desk can you daydream about better things.

This is the restaurant I went to in Minneapolis-
http://www.nochee.com (apparently their site is down right now (4/6/07) but you can read about it here too).
It was a Monday so kind of dead, but the food was really wonderful (caveat: this is my opinion in my current culinarily-deprived state).

Meat 101: crazy delicious

Posted in The Source, Things Gastronomical on April 3, 2007 | 3 Comments »

They are doing very good things over at everyday wine + cook in Kerrytown. The new-ish retail store has become a fairly regular destination for me.
