There are few things in life more satisfying and comforting than a meal from a diner. Anyone that can resist the allure of a restaurant serving all-day breakfast, burgers, and milkshakes has an iron will that is probably borderline unhealthy. Or that’s what I am telling myself after hearing from…
The 2010s have been marked by reboots and sequels. Mad Max: Fury Road and Sherlock are great. And for the most part, I am still pretty bullish on these shiny new re-treads going forward (new James Bond! Star Wars!), although others not so much (the potential Girl Clinton vs. Brother…
For as much as Minneapolis’ food scene is thriving, there are some troubling holes in its repertoire. Good Korean food is pretty tough to find (although The Rabbit Hole is really fun). The skyway has too many Subways and too few literally-anything-elses. And for the love of all that is…
There are a lot of things outsiders don’t know about Minneapolis. Some of these things are basic. Like, where it is, for example. Have you ever asked someone from the East or West Coast label all the states in the U.S.? Might be the only thing sadder than a Sarah…
Watching the Minnesota brewery scene go off the rails is fascinating, wonderful, and a little sad.

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…
I believe that math education is incredibly important. It is crucial in a variety of jobs, has many practical applications such making high schoolers more able to split a goddamn tab, and is generally useful in building a good logical framework which serves most well in life. Bad math can…
I had a serious hankering for ribs for some time. Things reached a head when I came home to see two clear plastic containers filled with baby-back ribs that Brad had as leftovers. So when Matt texted me and suggested getting some BBQ, I started pre-loosening the belt buckle to…
L'shana tova, happy new year! These apple rose pastries were a delicious way to ring in 5778!

WTF
From upscale cocktails and dining to ... shots and grinding?
Ok, I'm excited for these places to open if for nothing more than to see what "Miami Vice meets Tex-Mex" looks like.
