The Lowry Café
cool. Glad you enjoyed The Lowry Cafe.
I had the AYCE fish fry Friday night. The batter was amazingly light, the fish tasty. Much much better than the fish fry I've had at other places.
Any Good New Restaurant In MPLS?
The Lowry Cafe at the corner of Penn Ave N and Lowry ( south west corner) is new since May 1. Good solid food. Had AYCE fish fry Friday night. Lightly battered. Wonderful. Much better than the battered fish we had across the river a while back.
Had a great Buffalo Chicken Salad tonight.
Cheese-making stuff
I saw cheese making supplies at Midwest Supplies ( home brewer). Check under other products on their web page:

They opened this past weekend to much fanfare within our neighborhoods. It is great to have this café serving really good food.
The pork tenderloin sandwich is lightly breaded in house. The meat was thin and very flavorful. The breading was light and crunchy.
Fries: skinny, appropriately crunchy and lightly salted. Very good.
Buffalo Chicken Wrap: Wonderful. Chicken was flavorful, the buffalo sauce didn’t over power the entire wrap. Served with fries.
Breakfasts I've had, so far:
Biscuits and Gravy. Nicely flavored gravy topping light and fluffy biscuits. You get a choice in the number of biscuits.
Eggs Benedict: Awesome béarnaise sauce, lightly seasoned and delicate. Eggs were perfect, Ham, tasty
Bottle beer and wines are also available.
Others are raving about the omelets and about the dinners. I’m looking forward to trying more of their meals.

What is minneapolis's signature dish?
so, what is the historical foundation for any area's signature dish? Why did THAT become their signature? And, then, what would our historical piece be?
I think its been said earlier, if you ask outsiders what they would consider MN signature dish, it would be PowderMilk Biscuits and catsup, a la Praire Home Companion.
State Fair 2010 Reviews!
along side the grandstand, pretty much under the walkway that goes to the second level.
I think the awnings are pink striped (I think)
State Fair 2010 Reviews!
Had the apple cider float ( Kristian Regal sparkling cider and cinnamon ice cream) at the apple focused booth along side the grandstand. Awesome. Refreshing.
Agree with liking the corn fritters at the Green Fried Tomatoes booth.
Thanks for the tip on Giggles. had the chicken fried bacon and the walley cakes. Very good.

Has anyone seen this in local stores? Any review of it?
TWO new coffee places in NE Minneapolis?
Sip appears to be IN the grain belt brewery complex, on 13th Ave. and west of Marshall. At least that was what the sign looked like, as I ran past today. I was dealing with the discomfort of the half marathon, and I was past the sign before I realized what it said. 13th ave is one block north of Broadway.
TWO new coffee places in NE Minneapolis?
more details, and a location/address please. Grainbelt and E Hennepin aren't that close, in my estimation or NE Mpls.

Thanks for the info. I thought I had heard it was a sit down place.
Good Sports Bar and Grill
Apologies, I couldn't remember how others had referenced patties not being pre-formed. I don't believe they grind it, in house, but do form the patties there.
Just sharing that I really like the buffalo sauce on the wings.
I'm finding the full wing concept in other northside places. Like the new BBQ place on Broadway and Penn.
Good Sports Bar and Grill
Excellent Burger and Fries. Half pound burger, created in house. Great taste, Great toppings.....bacon, cheese, mushrooms, or california style. Fries are the skinny fries. You can get them with an herb seasoning. Good either way.
Full bar.
My SO thinks this burger ranks above Victory 44.
We've also had the Buffalo Chicken wings. excellent. They are the full wings, not the individual pieces of wings.
They have other sandwiches and dinners, but I haven't had
Find this place at the corner of Broadway and 2nd St. N. Its been open a few months now. Great staff. Great addition to NoMi.

J.C.'s Barbecue--new in MPLS
Had the pork link tonight and i *really* liked it. For me, just a tad spicy but not overly so. Easy enough to bite through the skin, but some resistance.
Also tried the chicken...dark meat. Very Very good. tender. meaty. saucy.
Fries were good. some were soggy from sauce, but no soggy greasy.
