One of the first restaurants I went to as a baby was Good Earth in Roseville, MN. I have since graduated from the Gorilla Cheese sandwich, but am no less infatuated.

By Lindsay, on November 9th, 2010 Click on photos to expand Last night, Erik and I attended a Slow Food NYC event at Northern Spy. Of the eight or nine people, I don’t think anyone knew more than one other person, but we got to know each other and had a great time. We were given a menu, but everything was family-style, so we got to taste a little of everything. If I had to pick favorites, I’d say the meatballs and kale salad were the . . . → Read More: Eating Local at Northern Spy
