When my cousin suggested we grabbed dinner at Lat14 Asian Eatery I was all in, because back before it opened I would drive by it to and from work everyday just waiting to go…and then, as happens, I got a new job and was never on that side of town again. So I’m almost embarrassed to say this is my first time there, but better late than never!

I’m a Red Cow fan, but this is my first time trying out their brunch. Two words: brunch flight.

When my friend suggested we try out Dario for our April friendship dinner I was ecstatic because I had seen so many articles and posts about their pasta.
Spoiler Alert: They did not disappoint.

I was invited to the Taco John’s Innovation Kitchen located in St. Louis Park to try my hand at making their limited time offer 10″ Taco Pizza and when I tell you I was internally freaking out I am not lying haha.

Cheese and sandwiches are two of my favorite foods so of course I’m obsessed with National Grilled Cheese Day. I’ll admit that lately my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches are made by my husband (his are honestly ELITE), but for those of you without a live in home chef who understands that there is really never enough cheese 😂 I thought I’d share my top 5 🧀 over the years in the Twin Cities!
And as an added bonus, you can scroll to the bottom for the Distastefully Tommy recipe 🎉

I first reviewed Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar in 2019 and then again for their dog friendly menu later that year, but I felt like it was about time for an update!

I have made absolutely ZERO secret about my love of an espresso martini so when my friend (and co-espresso martini adventurer) messaged me that today, March 15th was National Espresso Day I was obviously PUMPED.
I’m going to do a quick and dirty Top 5 of my favorite ones around the cities for those who want to celebrate with me!
P.S. I like an ACTUAL espresso martini and not the fake chocolate type so if you like sweet and not bitter you won’t like these haha

I thought I’d try something a little different and do a recap of my 12 favorite foods for 12 months of 2023!
I go out pretty frequently, but sometimes it’s just drinks and an app or somewhere I’ve been before so it doesn’t always make sense to do a full on Hipster Hack review. In this format I’ll be able to highlight some of those other places that make foods I adore!
Sharing in no particular order…

My excitement about the opening of Puttery Minneapolis rocketed when I learned it was a 21+ venue. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE playing mini-golf with my niece and nephews, but it would be a lie to say that I love being surrounded by kids on a date activity 😬 and I love that as adults we’re reclaiming some of the fun we had as kids like mini-golf and arcade games!

I’ve been to LITT Pinball Bar a few times over the years so it seemed like the perfect day date adventure for my birthday!
I’m very pro activities associated with childhood being reclaimed as acceptable adult activities. I have to confess that the first time I went to LITT was back when it had recently opened as TILT. I was there to meet up with a tinder date and was optimistic, yet very skeptical, that it would be fun because I personally find Up-Down to be overwhelming (super crowded and not a lot of moving room), but I am happy to report I was wrong. He may not have been right for me*, but LITT sure was 😄.
