    "The honeycrisp apple was invented at the University of Minnesota"
    Delicious, but still scares the hell out of me...

    You're afraid of apples? I'd be more concerned with killer tomatoes...

    Apples that have been 'invented', yes. Apparently there weren't enough kinds of apples already?

    Lots of food has been invented. It's just crossbreeding of seeds.

    This kind of stuff is done to create new plants all the time. It's not like it has a central nervous system or something. :-P

    I'm not a huge burger guy, so I have no dog in this fight. But if we want to debate pho, iPho by Saigon in St Paul is hands down some of the grub in the Cities.

    (I haven't been to iPho either)
    But I do live at the south end of "Eat Street" in Mpls. Nicollet from 26th to 29th has got to be the best Vietnamese food outside of Ho Chi Minh City (I have been there).
    Lu's Bahn Mi sandwiches
    Quang Restaurant
    Pho 79
    Pho Tau Bay
    ....mmmm....

    Once you get to Lake St, head East for delicious tacos! I had lunch off "El Primo Taco Truck" today, delicious!

    I heard their Smokehouse Brisket is actually pretty good (for fast food). Still haven't tried it....Tap House is much better

    The fish tacos at LuLu's are pretty stellar

    Mac's Industrial has an outrageously good Reuben

    Best burger in town is at the Nook or Shamrock's (same menu, same owners)
  • jerparker20jerparker20 Posts: 2,501
    Also the smoked chicken wings at 7th Street Social down on West 7th are pretty bad ass

    From 7th St. Social? I've never had a bad meal there if that is anything.

    We are all exctied for the fall shows; that's a given.

    I'm curious what other shows you are all excited for.

    I am going to see the Arctic Monkeys in Iowa at the end of July for a bachelor party trip. I'm really pumped for that. Other than that, I have no shows on the horizon.

    No shows on my horizon. Shows are expensive and I'm struggling to find awesome artists. Ah, the mark of a man in his early 30's. Hahaha.
