Hello.
I recently read your blog post about the closing of Takk for Maten and was very sad to hear that it is closing. I wished them well but was doubtful of any independent restaurant success in that location.

I was the co-owner of Nutty Meg’s Cafe with Sara Kavajecz. I saw some speculation in the comments about what we went on to do and we’re associated with after we closed, and thought I would clear up the questions.

I was the opening store manager for Starbucks Coffee downtown after we closed Nutty Meg’s.

Sara owned Habaneros food truck with her brother Paul Kaz until recently and now works with her family owned Canal Park Brewing that opened in November.

I currently work for Starbucks in Grand Forks, ND.

Neither of us has any association to the Dunn Bros in Duluth, but I did manage for Dunn Bros in St. Paul in 2000.

Hope this helps clear up some confusion. Thanks for the post. I like to keep up on Duluth food news.

When we went to Takk for Maten, it was a little let down, especially because we went twice, and when the cash register did not match the price on the menu, we were apologized to and charged the higher price on the register, being promised that the menus were recently changed and that our out-of-date menu should have been adjusted. The first time, I smiled. The second time, I regret I adjusted my tip downward the amount of the price difference and didn’t go back. Which was rough — I loved the piano player who played there once in a while, and it was the kind of place you want to stay in business, for the culture of the town if nothing else. But I have blood pressure to watch, you know?

I thought one of the Nutty Meg’s owners was operating a food truck for a while there?
