    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.

    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!

    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.
