The cheese curds [at Cafe Maude] — the Faribault Dairy Caveman Curds ($6) — stopped us in our tracks. It was one of those moments when your companion casually takes a bite of food, then stops dead still, lets her eyes grow wide, and motions urgently that you must. try. this. now. — even before she finishes chewing. The crust was tempura-light and perfectly crispy, even when the curds cooled (and how on Earth did we even let them cool?), flecked with paprika and a hint of the North African spices that set Cafe Maude’s global comfort food apart. Dipped in the sweet and complex tomato coulis, they were perfect. Perfect.

What goes better together than wine and cheese? Authors and cheese. The Airship paired ten gourmet cheeses with famous writers. Virginia Woolf is goes well with a Bayley Hazen Blue. “This Stilton-like blue is a mix of narratives – the Mrs. Dalloway of cheeses, if you will."

What's in Prince's Fridge? - The Heavy Table - Minneapolis-St. Paul and Upper Midwest Food Magazine and Blog

When we first approached the representatives of international rock superstar Prince to see if he’d consent to being the inaugural subject of our What’s In Your Fridge series, we knew it was a long shot. We weren’t surprised that we didn’t hear anything back for eight long months. We were surprised when the response wasn’t …

“Don’t know what 2 say about Dunk-a-roos. They’re just good! Sometimes you want a food that is comfortable and takes you back. For me, it’s those crazy little kangaroo crackers.”-Prince (emphasis mine)

That's a great solution for everyone who doesn't know what to do with all the beets in their CSA boxes!

Pizza night is always the best night, right? We checked out the new pizza night special at Sun Street Breads in Minneapolis, which, strangely but thankfully, happens on Mondays. In short: their pizza is super cheap ($7 for a decent-sized plain pie!!), simple, and clean.

Great article by Deadspin on cheap American beer, click the link to see the full list. But you should know, our beloved Grain Belt took home the #1 ranking!

FYEAH MINNESOTA!

36 Cheap American Beers, Ranked

I realize you’re going to spend Independence Day happily drinking whatever cold adult beverage you’re served, because you’re polite and you’re an alcoholic. And I trust you’ll have a fine old time no matter what you drink. But that doesn’t mean America’s shitbrews are all the same. The list below breaks down 36 of them, from worst to least-worst.

1. Grain Belt Premium. I always think of Minnesota as a secretly sexy place, and not just because of Kent Hrbek and Al Franken. Maybe it’s all the trout and music and Lutherans. Toss in a smooth, creamy, and dreamy local budget brew like Grain Belt and it’s a wonder Minnesota hasn’t seceded to form its own naked blond utopia. Grain Belt Premium is America’s finest cheap beer.

I think we're pretty openly sexy, though...

Don't call this elote -- but eat it anyway. The Mexican corn at the Twin Cities' own Get Sauced food truck is a beauty to behold. It's a neater, tamer version of the Mexican BBQ classic.
