Sandwich Wednesday: The Manny’s Special

Clint — Thu, 16 May 2013 01:20:05 +0000

The Manny’s Special sandwich from Manny’s Tortas in the Midtown Global Market. It’s a delicious combination of ham, pork, cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, avocado, jalapeño peppers, refried beans, chipotle pepper mayo and a bag of chips. I think these are all the ingredients but I might be missing one or two.

This is one serious sandwich that I can only eat once or twice a month.

Every Wednesday I post about a favorite sandwich from the Twin Cities and outstate Minnesota. If you’ve got a sandwich for me to try drop me a line on Twitter or in the comments.

Y.N. Rich Kids – My Bike

Clint — Mon, 13 May 2013 18:39:54 +0000

Y.N. Richkids were hot before Cheetos and Takis. The young Minneapolis rap prodigies rep Minneapolis pretty hard in their latest video for the track “My Bike”. Riding ’round on their bicycles through the streets of Minneapolis with stops off at the Mall of America, Target Center, Vikings training ground and Target Field where T.C. Bear rolls up on his big wheel. Also included in the video are cameos by some other notable MPLS/STP rappers. Watch see how many other faces you recognize in the background.

I love these guys and can’t wait to see more and more of them around town. Swerve, swerve.

Sandwich Wednesday: Bryant Lake Bowl Turkey Avocado & Bacon

Sandwich Wednesday is where I post about a delicious sandwich from around the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Get caught up with previous Sandwich Wednesdays or let me know about some awesome sandwiches in the comments.

Bryant Lake Bowl in Uptown has always been one of my favorite places in Minneapolis to get a sandwich. They are all very very good, but my go to is the Turkey, Avocado & Bacon sandwich. Made with house pressed deli turkey, bacon, avocado, mayo, sprouts with a side of chips and a pickle.

Sandwich Wednesday: Dandelion Kitchen’s BLT

This is a great BLT sandwich from the Dandelion Kitchen food truck. I really like this food truck a lot. All their ingredients are fresh and delicious. The BLT is made up of maple-glazed bacon, heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado with the option to include a pretzel bun.

You can usually find these guys parked right outside the IDS Center on the Nicollet Mall most days during lunchtime.

‘Sotaing: Spring/Winter

Clint — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:19:14 +0000

Over the weekend it was sunny and beautiful so I biked up to Lake Harriet to see if the ice was still on the lakes. Turns out despite it being 70+ there was quite a bit of ice on the lake. The previous record for latest ice out date on lake Harriet was April 28th 1965. I took this picture on the 28th and as you can see there is still plenty of ice on the lake.

Coming Soon: Paul & Babe

Clint — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:00:11 +0000

You’ve seen sneak peeks of our Paul and Babe design before, but today I’m happy to show you the final version in all of it’s awesomeness. We can’t be proper Minnesotans if we don’t all have a Paul Bunyan & sidekick Babe t-shirt, can we?

Wear the Love.

Coming Soon: MPLS, Represent.

Update: Nordeast Boxer Design

Clint — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 01:16:10 +0000

The last time we showed you the Nordeast Boxing Club design we mocked it up on a darker green shirt. But after some discussions with MJ we’ve decided to go with a black shirt instead. This change of direction caused us to put off printing by two weeks. But I’m happy to tell you that this tee will finally be going to the press in the next couple days. Which means you can get your hands on this beauty real soon.

In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the boxer on this t-shirt. Love for Northeast, check. American Pride across the chest, check. Scared Panda love, check. Rattle snack, check. And of course the staple Minnesota tattoo on the forearm.

Wear the Love.
