Like many of the culinary love stories that preceded this one, my first memory of Shanghai soup dumplings is set in a…
Yes! I’ve only had XLB in San Francisco and New York (Joe’s Shanghai), and this is very exciting to see in the Twin Cities.

Let's fight hunger together for my birthday! →
A friend in San Francisco started a tradition in 2007 of throwing a fundraiser on his birthday to raise money for the SF Food Bank, raising enough money for thousands of meals so far. I’m shamelessly stealing his idea and starting an annual tradition to raise money for my local hunger-relief organization, the Second Harvest Heartland. Although many of us live and eat comfortably in...

Not sure that I’d say this is a new trend because I’ve been enjoying Town Talk Diner’s adult malts and floats for the last three years I’ve lived in Minneapolis. Tip: Get the Johnny Cold Train (Bailey’s, Frangelico, Kahlua, Chocolate - WHAT?!)

In Defense of Filipino Food | TangledNoodle →
Tangled Noodle thoughtfully rebuts the insults hurled at Filipino food that appear in the comments section of SFGate’s recent feature on Filipino food. Check out her recipe for Lumpiang Sariwa (i.e., fresh spring rolls) at the end, an excellent example to counter the bland, brown, and deep-fried stereotype.

You Deserve It!
fightwithknives:
Lord knows I understand that marketing is about responding to stereotypes because “data shows a certain group of people will always act a certain way.” The thing about good marketing is that you’re not supposed to admit to those terrible stereotypes; you’re supposed to find a way to stereotype without being a complete fucking asshole.
In this week’s City Pages, a local...

Racism by Any Other Name Smells Just as Rotten
It was my first day of kindergarten. A shy and precociously anxious four-year-old, I looked around at the other kids and wondered whether any of them would want to play with me during recess. It was a day of many firsts, as I didn’t go to pre-school or daycare like other kids. For the first time in my life, I had a space all my own there in my little desk with its cubby – my name, neatly printed...

What is the Twin Cities Runoff, you ask? It is a new progressive online magazine covering Twin Cities culture set to officially launch in Fall 2010. I feel very excited to be a part of this project with an awesome group of folks who share the vision of in-depth coverage of the intricacies of this vibrant, diverse community.
The Runoff is just getting off the ground, and it needs all the support...
