Favorite Cheap Lunches Part 7: The $4.99 Combo at Seafood Palace

Okay, this wasn't a great lunch, but for the price, it's really a pretty good deal: egg drop soup, two Shanghai-style egg rolls, stir-fried veggies, fried rice, a generous portion of fried tofu stuffed with seafood (mostly minced shrimp), and a little sugar doughnut for dessert (plus a fortune cookie!) all for unde… Continue

Favorite Cheap Lunches Part 6: Grilled Beef Sandwich at Maashaa'allah Restaurant

I was sad to see the closing of Tam-Tam's African restaurant at 605 Cedar Ave. - it was the only restaurant in the Twin Cities serving a pan-African menu, and owner Steven Kaggwa was a warm and welcoming host. But I was curious enough about the restaurant that replaced it - Maashaa'allah, that I decided to stop in for lunch. The restaurant advertise… Continue

Il Gatto: Figlio gets a Facelift

The big question on my mind, as I headed to http://www.ilgattominneapolis.com/">Il Gatto on opening night, was, just how jokey will the newest Parasole restaurant be? Figlio, Parasole's previous Calhoun Square restaurant, was a more or less straightforward Italian trattoria - and a pretty good one - but the chain's more recent… Continue

Kabobs - Now Open in the Downtown Minneapolis!

Just got this photo tip from TC Foodie Maryn McKenna - so I called up the original Kabobs at 7814 Portland Ave. S. in Bloomington for details. The newest Kabobs is located in the 4th floor food court of Gaviidae II, 555 Nicollet Mall, and offers a $5 lunch buffet Monday through Saturday from 1… Continue

Haggis at L'Ecosse: It Was Offal, But It Wasn't Bad

I really hesitated before ordering the haggis at L'Ecosse, the new Scottish restaurant at 48th and Chicago. On the one hand, the thought of eating a combination of lamb kidney, liver and heart, cow tongue and oatmeal, all stuffed into a sheep stomach, sounded disgusting. (I eat tongue and tripe, but I can't stand the taste of liver, or the smell of kidneys.)… Continue

I had hoped for the mashed potatoes with goat cheese, rather than the chips, but alas, mine ended up in front of someone else and having waited two hours for my dinner already, I wasn't about to send this back.

At 1:52pm on October 19, 2009, Lara Friedman-Shedlov said…: Hi Jeremy. I did go to L'Ecosse (48th and Chicago, next door to the Parkway Theater) on Saturday night, as I said I would. However, I am hesitant to post any kind of review based on my experience that night. I was there for a big event, and they were serving a limited menu. Even with the limited menu, they were clearly unprepared for the number of people that showed up. The event started at 6pm and they were out of several items on the menu by 6:30, including the house wine (on a Saturday night!). Some of the servers were clearly very inexperienced out out of their league as well. When we finally did order, we waited about two hours for our food, and I didn't end up getting exactly what I ordered. What I did get was tasty and the presentation was definitely up a notch or two from what you might normally expect for this type of cuisine (see attached photo). I felt it was worth another visit on a "normal" night and would definitely want to give it at least one more try before posting something that might be considered a review.

Due to storm and weather damage to the grounds and overall terrible weather that week, the tasting had to be rescheduled. In case of interest, the new date is Sept. 24th - all other information remains the same. Contact jeffrey Fortson at Harrington for further details, or my e-mail Thanks man. Hope the foodie biz has been well. Big E

I just posted a little thing about Caneles De Bordeeaux. Besides my current obsession with these Caneles, I do love Hong Kong Noodle, on Washington Ave, in what used to be known as Stadium Village. They are the only authentic Hong Kong style shop in town that I know of. Excellent broths in their noodle soups. I am shamelessly addicted to the crispy duck. They make congee, several varieties, the plain is just perfect with some scallions on top and the ginger -chicken congee serves as our family's cure for the cold and flu.

At 10:24am on June 28, 2009, PM said…: Had dinner at Risotto last night--really liked it. Thought the bare concrete floor was an unusual touch, would probably make a larger place too noisy, but it really wasn't a problem here. The place was comfortable, the service was attentive, personable, if not always perfect (we had to ask to get more water a couple of times, but there was never a long wait or anything), and the risotto was pretty quick--certainly didn't need the extra 20 minutes the menu warned of. I had the saffron/sausage/asparagus risotto, and it was excellent. Also tasted the walleye, and it was very rich--wonderful. We were the second group in the door at 7pm, but by 8 it was at least 3/4 full. They probably got one full turn over the course of the Saturday night.
The green bean souffle/appetizer was amazing, the calamari were very good--maybe a bit skimpy on the size compared to other restaurants.
the wine list was nice--no great bargains, but extensive and thoughtful.
We will definitely be going back.
A little bit surprised that he only had the arborio rice risottos, and not the carnaroli rice risottos.
