Husband and I had a weekday date day and decided to cross off one of his must-try’s, The French Hen, for lunch.

Crisp & Green | Woodbury, MN
We’ve been frequenters of Crisp & Green in Woodbury since it opened, but you can only eat salads so I am insanely excited that they now have wraps!
Continue readingAzul Tequila 2024 | Hudson, Wisconsin
I previously reviewed Azul Tequila Bar and Grill in Hudson, Wisconsin back in 2019 so it was about time for a refresh! The main difference was that this time I was able to experience the patio!
Continue readingBebe Zito | Woodbury, MN
I’d previously tried out Bebe Zito at Malcolm Yards Market so I was very excited to see that one was coming to Woodbury, Minnesota and when I realized it was opening in Woodbury Lakes it was a Hallelujah, because Woodbury Lakes has long needed a quick/fast casual food stop, which will hopefully revive the shopping center!
Sharing some of the hits and misses of my visit below.

Living in Woodbury, Tamarack Tap Room is a go-to for us (you can read the previous reviews here).
So this review is dedicated to the three new items we tried for the Spring 2024 menu.

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 🎉
Continue readingNational Espresso Martini Day | Twin Cities Top 5
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
Continue readingSaint Paul Brewing | St. Paul, Minnesota
I’ve previously dedicated an entire Hipster Hack to my love of the Saint Paul Brewing patio and the eclectic seating vignettes, but now that it’s too cold to be outside (remind me why I live in Minnesota again?) we’ve been able to experience the back of the brewery, which also homes a bunch of eclectic seating areas and funky, recycled designs.
Cliff notes: this brewery is my absolute favorite. But keep reading if you require more evidence 😂
Continue readingA Side Public House | St. Paul, MN
We stumbled upon A Side Public House through a google search of brunch spots in Saint Paul and I have to admit I was surprised I had never heard of this restaurant before. After a quick look at the menu I knew they were right up our alley so off we went. When we arrived I was excited to find out that the venue is an old fire station! Get all the details
Continue readingKincaid’s | St. Paul, MN
We’ve had two really great experiences at Kincaid’s so when we were picking somewhere that felt special to us to celebrate our 1st anniversary dinner it was a natural choice.
