featured on rachael ray's tasty travels and deservedly so.

i highly suggest the fried oyster shooters as an appetizer. probably my favorite appetizer in town. (it used to be nine75's won ton tuna tacos, and this surpassed it instantly.) you can't go wrong with most of the menu.

Closed Hell's Kitchen
89 S 10th St
Minneapolis, MN 55403

Reviewed 01. Dec 2007

Just got home from Hell's Kitchen for brunch and have to say I really enjoyed it.

The place was full of friendly people and lively conversation. There were plenty of standard breakfast items plus a good assortment of unique items that I can't wait to try in the future. I had the huevos rancheros per the recommendation of my friend and was pleasantly surprised as this is an item I am usually just so-so on. These were quite delicious. Next time I think I'll try the Bison Benedict.

The decor is well suited for the name. The owner is a big fan of Ralph Steadman and has a good amount of his artwork up around the restaurant. The wait staff dresses in fun pajamas and isn't afraid to give you a hard time if you're being indecisive. I quite liked this, but if you're looking for a more serious, traditional brunch place look elsewhere.

Closed Moose & Sadie's
212 3rd Ave N
Minneapolis, MN 55401

Reviewed 01. Dec 2007

Moose & Sadie's is right under our offices and I find myself stopping in quite often for lunch and/or coffee.

Even breakfast on days when I got around too late to make it at home.

I've not had one single thing there yet that I haven't enjoyed, and I've tried quite a few things. I highly recommend the BLT if you like them. This is one of the best I've had. They strive to use local ingredients when ever possible and each week the menu features a few new items along with some standards.

The staff and owner are all very friendly and make a point to learn the names of their regular customers. All around, very good stuff.

Reviewed 05. May 2007

agree that it can be tricky to find, but it's worth a look.

you can get a bowl of noodles bigger than your head at a very reasonable price. the service was very friendly and attentive. the place is low key and quiet. i'll go back again for sure.

Closed Snooze
2262 Larimer St
Denver, CO 80205

Reviewed 05. May 2007

Great breakfast joint.

I highly recommend the steak and eggs benedict. Several friends rave about their pancakes, and they always have a very creative pancake of the day. I'll have to try them next time. The manager and all the staff are all quite friendly and will keep your coffee topped off regularly, but not to the point of annoyance.

Word of caution: Sunday and Saturday mornings betweeen 10 and 1 can be pretty busy so expect a wait then. They do have a self-serve coffee station for your wait though, so that helps.

Closed Tum Rup Thai
1221 W Lake St
Minneapolis, MN 55408

Reviewed 01. Dec 2007

I went here earlier this week for dinner and had a very enjoyable time.

Started the evening with the spring rolls and for dinner, had the Gaeng Daeng (Red Curry) with shrimp, at "Hot"/4 peppers (out of 5, dubbed "Thai Hot"). I don't normally get curry dishes but was pleasantly surprised by this one. Next time though, I'll give the 5-peppers/Thai Hot a go as four/Hot wasn't all that much heat, at least compared to the Thai places I would visit regularly in Denver.

This is certainly a place I'll come to again and again for really good (can't quite call it great) Thai food.
