‼️✨NEW RESTAURANT ALERT: @kizzorestaurant ✨‼️
••••••
Kizzo JUST OPENED in the former StepChld space in the heart of Northeast, Mpls! The official Grand opening was this past weekend 9/13/25 at 10am for brunch. They serve brunch on the weekends 10-2, they’re open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 5pm for dinner service! Their In-house made Cinnamon Rolls @roll.ritual with rotating flavors weekly are some of the BEST I’ve ever had & they are only available right now Saturday/Sunday for brunch 10am-2p! Don’t worry the Step Chld cooper burger 🍔 & magic wings/ some of the same menu items can still be found @kizzorestaurant! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

The space formerly known as StepChld is now Kizzo, a nod to owner Kamal Mohamed’s childhood nickname. The restaurant will retain some echoes of Stepchld, but in a more casual, counter-service environment that doubles as a sports bar on big game days. The hope is to create a neighborhood-friendly space that falls somewhere in between hole-in-the-wall dives and high-end eateries. I look forward to checking out their dinner and trying more cocktails! 🤭🌈🍩👯‍♀️

🍹✨TOP DIM SUM 🥟 & BRUNCH SPOT!✨🍹
••••••
ThE CARTS are back for All-Day Dim Sum Sundays at one of my FAVORITE restaurants located in the heart of Northeast, Minneapolis — the ONE & ONLY @minarirestaurant! 😍👌🏻💯🔥. They now have a CAVIAR HAND ROLL!

One word to BEST describe Minari is IMPRESSIVE! From the moment you walk in their doors—you’re greeted by sultry red lights, a stunning bar area, beautiful artwork, a spacious dining room, tons of natural light + greenery 🌿 & a perfectly curated Sunday brunch menu of snacks, plates, accompaniments, & brunch cocktails w/ NA options! I’ve been here for dinner a few times, brunch, and now Dim Sundays — I can officially say this was my MOST MEMORABLE and TASTIEST experience to date!
••••••
@minarirestaurant is a VISUALLY STUNNING masterpiece and I can’t say enough good things about this place. I am always in the mood for their flavor-forward DIM SUM, DUMPLINGS, & EAST ASIAN FLAVOR-INSPIRED dishes! This HOT SPOT in town is a destination for Sunday dim sum during brunch service 10am-2pm and resuming during dinner, creating a truly immersive experience using unique third culture cooking in the Twin Cities—that you can’t find anywhere else in town. The restaurant’s ambiance, culinary creativity, and hospitality repeatedly make it a TOP TIER dining experience!!! 🌈🥟🌈🥟
••••••
☑️My favorite dim sim/dumplings are the fried spring roll, honey butter toast, pineapple bun, mochi biscuit + the Szechuan ribs & then on the dumplings side — obsessed w/ the squid ink, shrimp + fennel, & the pearl meatballs. DON’T SKIP the French toast, cream cheese wontons, BLT Gimbap, crispy hashbrowns or scrambled eggs 🍳 w/ pork belly. Make your dim sum Sunday reservation ASAP! Can’t wait to go back soon 💁🏻‍♀️.

Today I was craving pan-fried dumplings 🥟 so I went straight to my favorite spot — San Dong Noodle House in Chinatown Houston. This OG spot never disappoints. For just $10.50 you get 10 dumplings — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and honestly one of the best food deals in the city. Fast casual, family-friendly, and perfect for a quick fix when the craving hits.

📍 9938 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 77036

If you love dumplings, you have to add this place to your Houston food list. Save it for your next Chinatown run!

🗞️ Pick up a copy of the @sundaytimesireland today for our latest restaurant review: @hellovada — ur boujie cafe now does dinner with picky bits and exciting wines! 🍽️

We write “while it can be pretty busy on weekdays, it’s the queues snaking around the corner on weekends that demonstrate the popularity of Sarah Boland’s no-reservations daytime spot (which opened last October on an unassuming corner where Stoneybatter meets Smithfield) but, personally, we think it’s the recent addition of bookable dinners - on Fridays and Saturdays - that stands to be the real making of Vada, led by head chef (formerly of Kai) Hannah O’Donnell @hannahbanana_chef…”

Must orders: the Marmite nuts, the Yukhoe beef tartare, the chicken karaage, the @andarlfarm pork fillet with peaches and charred corn and the spud ends!

The wine list is all @winesdirectirl and we suggest three other similar “neighbourhood cafe by day, designer restaurant by night” spots across Ireland in the If That, Then These sidebar 📰

This is the new @emerils , different in many ways from the one New Orleans has long known but also drawing directly from the ideas that first fired it up.

The restaurant @emeril opened in 1990 as a 30-year-old rising star is now run by his son @ejlagasse , 22, as chef and co-owner.

It is a tasting menu restaurant, lavish in luxury and at prices that will have you considering the relative value of primo concert tickets or some other bucket list experience.

Underlying the opulent approach, though, is the substance of the meal.

There’s a certain standard of luxury dining that could be anywhere, with the portable trappings of expensive amenities and international cuisine.

Emeril’s is the counterpoint. It is unmistakably a New Orleans restaurant, brought to the highest plane.

This menu is about the rich source material of Louisiana heritage food, and the culinary history of this restaurant, expressed with artful presentations alternating between intense and ephemeral.

There is also affection in this food, and emotion to the arc of the meal.

Link in my bio has the full read on the dining experience and also why the attached @winebaratemerils should be considered its own dinner destination, a more accessible taste of what they’re doing here now.
