Chef Yee’s serving it up at Foster’s

Life just got even better on the hill — I discovered Chef Yee’s is serving up his fare Wednesdays and Thursdays at Foster’s on Arrowhead Road. I ate there tonight for the first time. It was delicious, fresh and quick — ah, just like we remembered! Paired well with a Great Lakes Brewing Co. Edmund Fitzgerald tap! Even my hubby who isn’t a Chinese food fan gave it rave reviews. We’ll be back!

Split Rock Review

From Crystal S. Gibbins, recent transplant to Duluth:

Split Rock Review is an online magazine founded in the Northwoods of Minnesota in 2012, among log rollers, hikers, anglers, and dawn treaders. Its name is inspired from the historic landmark on Lake Superior’s North Shore.

Looking for a versatile jazz band

The event committee for MinnRoast 2014 has decided to switch the venue from Pantages to the State Theatre. Because of the larger, more professional venue we need to up the level of professionalism. We think we need a band (preferably jazz or big band sound) to carry the transitions and learn the accompaniments (currently there is just piano). This would be a paid gig and requires a lot of improvisation and thinking on your feet.

If you do no know what MinnRoast is …

Help us with a theory

The other day, a friend and I were talking on Facebook about personality types according to Myers-Briggs and we noticed that, just in our circles of Duluth friends, there’s a huge proportion of one type of Myers-Briggs personality.

We then wondered if this was just coincidence or does Duluth have a larger-than-usual percentage of this relatively rare personality type.

So we’re turning to you all to help.

Please take this test (it’s free) and then post your results and the city in which you live. Thanks!

Changes to Arrowhead Regional Arts Grants

There are major changes coming in grant funding in the arts in our region. This notice will help explain some of them.

Catnip: Egress to Oblivion?

This short film was one of the highlights of last weekend’s Free Range Film Festival in Wrenshall. Call this an encore presentation.

Bees!

Please help! We’re having a fence installed, and the workers were pounding a post near the garage when a steady stream of bumble bees started coming out of the ground. It’s fantastic! I’m thrilled to know that we are hosting these amazing little creatures. However, the fence workers want us to fumigate the hive before they continue working. We will not do this. So … any ideas? We won’t have the blood of a hundred bees on our hands.

Poll: Best Breakfast Restaurant

Through a recent poll about breakfast joints we have a disputable, yet official list of the five favorite places to seek ante-meridiem nourishment in the Duluth area. Now it’s time to determine which is number one, so again we ask the all-important question …

Which restaurant serves the best breakfast?

This poll is now closed. The results were …

Duluth Grill — 39.2 percent
Pizza Lucé — 21.6 percent
Uncle Loui’s — 17.5 percent
At Sara’s Table / Chester Creek Café — 15.4 percent
The Kitchen — 6.2 percent

What’s being built kitty-corner from At Sara’s Table, across the street from V.I.P.?

Anyone know?

Care Bears, Care Bears, Yeah – Live at Beaner’s

Someone tell us everything about this band, because we need to know right now.

OK, this is totally worth it. Trust me.

First, watch this real video about the 10 trips you have to take in your 20s.

Then, watch this spoof about the 10 trips you actually take in your 20s.  Watch closely, particularly right after the JFK airport scene.  It’s totally worth it.
