There is a movement afoot in several major restaurant cities around the country, led by some of our most prominent restaurateurs, to get rid of tipping, thus leveling the financial playing field between the front and back of the house. This is a bold and risky move that will change the face of fine dining and upscale casual as well. Some say it is long overdue.
I have been following this conversation for a while, and now Danny Meyer, of the Union Square Hospitality Group and owner of 13…

rHow would you feel about having the opportunity not only to fill up with delicious soup but also to directly contribute to a vision of social justice started all the way back in the 1930s? You can do exactly that by attending the soup supper and raffle at St. Joseph’s Church in Moorhead, put on by the Dorothy Day House of Hospitality.

For some reason I have always thought of West Fargo as anything west of I-29, don’t ask me why, it just felt right. In actuality West Fargo is much further out, but the boundary is quite confusing the further west and south you travel. Every time I head out that way I am amazed at the growth. Apartment complexes are popping up all over the place and with that more retail shops and restaurants: good restaurants, not just your typical chains, and there is no shortage of those.
So the…

With the rusty, brown shades of autumn leaves sprinkled with touches of red and yellow, autumn is upon us. Bright orange pumpkins, pale yellow butternut squash and the deep green hues of buttercup & acorn squashes paint the farm-stands and grocery stores alike. Gone are the rich, red, lush tomatoes, hand-picked from local farms, being replaced by a stunning array of crisp, crunchy, apples and pears. A real bounty of opportunity, time for apple cider, pies, cobblers, warming soups and…

Swine isn’t a word we use in our everyday dialogue, well unless you are a pig farmer. It is one of those words if you say it ten times really quickly is becomes non-seneschal. By definition the term swine is a contemptible person, a brutal sensual person or any stout, cloven-hoofed artiodactyl, aka pig. And this past Sunday it was all about the noble hog and craft beer at the inaugural Pig and The Pint event. Hosted by Jade Presents and sponsored by Bernie’s Liquors, The North…
