Oll Raigth!

Nod to NPR.

So apparently the following video is an intentional parody of the English language (what it would sound like to an Italian with no familiarity to it). I actually do find my brain trying to understand it despite the fact that it's all gibberish. But at the moment it's my new favorite song/dance. Enjoy:

112 Eatery...The cheeseburger re-invented




So I just got back from the cities where I ate at a place called 112 eatery. The restaurant is located in the warehouse district of Minneapolis. One would not assume much from this unsuspecting little restaurant. Inside there are about 5 booths and 6 tables (one of which is located in the kitchen). But after you get your food you will understand why I felt it a must to say something about this place. I started off with the blue prawns appetizer which contained the most flavorful fried shrimp I had ever tasted. To top it off, the dish was served with a rooster sauce that was spicy, but added just the perfect accent to the shrimp.
When I had the shrimp I thought that nothing could top it, then I had the 112 burger. There is not much to this dish; simply meat, cheese, then bun, served with a side of pickles. But these three ingredients have been modified from their modern brethren. For one, the bun is a large and buttery English Muffin. Secondly the cheese is no mere slice of American cheddar, but bits of Bree that melts on the burger when they serve it to you. I can not describe how good the combination of these three ingredients is!
The only disappointing aspect of the evening was the dessert. The Banana Cream Tart was just not as flavorful as the other dishes.
The bottom line is that if you are looking for a great place to eat, this is it. Whether it is for a date or just a fun evening out, you can not beat this little eatery in the heart of the city. Be sure to get your reservations early.
