The Chatterbox Pub - Linden Hills (Minneapolis)

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Until three years ago, I lived a short four-block walk away from the original Chatterbox Pub in Midtown, Minneapolis. Now I live a short four-block walk away from the Linden Hills Chatterbox. Ironic, huh?

Hey Subway: Where’s my $2.50 six-inch?

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

I have but one question.  If Subway sells five-dollar footlongs, why was my six-inch veggie delight $3.99?  Shouldn’t it be $2.50?  Half the sandwich, half the price, right?  I don’t get it.  I guess I am being punished for knowing that a human should only eat six inches of hoagie in one sitting.  And they [...]

Pho 79

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Honestly, I haven’t felt like eating out. Partly because I’ve been a little under the weather the last week or so, but I tell you, there’s very little out there that inspires me enough to slide over the green backs in exchange for chow. I have been to Pho 79 as well as Q.Cumbers in [...]

The Second Pinkberry DID close!

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

It took over a year, but the rumor that the Pinkberry at Barrington Court would close turned out to be true.  And I have the picture to prove it:
