per Staples:
Minnesota
Butcher and the Boar
Cuisine: American
Address: 1121 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.
You’re ordering: When the Minneapolis location reopens July 7 — the Charleston, S.C. location is already open — you want the long bone rib that gets salt and sugar cured and smoked for 14 hours. The Tabasco-molasses glaze completes the bombardment of every taste bud. But first, have a grilled Caesar salad and a banana bread old fashioned (cinnamon- and banana-infused Stranahan’s Single Malt Whiskey, aztek chocolate bitters, walnut bitters, Demerara syrup). Have another one of those old fashioneds for dessert.
Hell’s Kitchen
Cuisine: Breakfast
Address: 80 S 9th Street, Minneapolis, Minn.
You’re ordering: A caramel pecan roll and lemon-ricotta hotcakes. The first is a half-pound cinnamon roll topped with roasted, salted pecans and caramel sauce. The second is a stack of moist, mostly sweet, ever-so-slightly sour pancakes that are too good even for syrup.
J.D. Hoyt’s Supper Club
Cuisine: American
Address: 301 N Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.
You’re ordering: The full order of grilled cajun pork chops. You’ll get two 13-ounce chops that were rubbed with spices and slow-cooked over a hickory fire. There are $100 steaks that don’t come close to these chops.
