I would like to start off with an apology. It has come to my attention that FDC has entered the dark part of the internet. Yes, that shady world inhabited by Nigerian princes, YouTube commenters, and pictures of Putin not riding a bear. How do I know we’ve become part…
It’s official folks. FDC is now international. Now I’ll admit, I am using the airport definition of international here, where it only takes one foreign destination to gain that designation (like an airport that conducts the quick flight from Sarah Palin’s house to Russia). I recently won a trip to…
The Third Bird had been on our list for a while. Lucky for us, we picked a beautiful day to sit outside on Third Bird’s nice outdoor seating area facing Loring Park. It also provided a perfect vantage point for making sure I could run to my car parked at…

Although there are already some amazing reviews out there, when Little Caesars announced they were releasing a bacon-wrapped deep dish pizza, the whole FDC crew was very excited because there was…
Cochon 555 is a national cooking competition centered around sustainable pig farming. The 555 represents the five chefs, pigs, and wineries involved in the competition. The competition itself is held in 10 cities in the US, with the winning chef earning the right to compete in Aspen for a trip…
We had been waiting for this one for while. Former Iron Chef Champion Gavin Kaysen was ditching his swanky lifestyle as a baller chef in New York City to return to his humble Minnesota roots and open Spoon and Stable. FDC wasn’t the only group excited; there was a two…
