The  more hours you put in at the airport, the better you are as a sales person… That’s what R and I concluded, as we sat down with our meals at Ike’s at the Minneapolis Airport:


This was the Hipster Turkey Burger, supposedly with avocado. I didn’t taste any avocado, although I did see a bit of green… The pattie was made of ground turkey. It came with an abundance of fries, and a bit of coleslaw. Overall, I enjoyed the burger, but it was not like I would come back just to eat it again.



I really wish we could've spent more time... NAH WHO AM I KIDDING? I was ready to keep going... Onwards to Kansas, for flying monkeys and witches!

I never enjoyed autumn as much as this year. October is usually a cold, miserable time for Vancouver, and it has been flooding all over the city. Good thing I escaped to the East coast (R might say it’s the Central US, but I still think it’s close enough…). We visited Minnehaha Falls after a tough day of hustling, and before dinner. Nature in the city, more beautiful than Central Park, and better than Stanley Park! It’s even got a friggin’ waterfall:

Work hard, play harder. We had a tough day, and now, it was time to find some good grub. We went to Broder’s Pasta Bar, not to be confused with Broder’s Cucina Italiana (the cafe version of the pasta bar), where after a 5-10 minute wait, we landed a seat at the bar. I had the Dragon’s Milk (cut off in glass above plate) and the Papperdelle with Veal ragu:

I think this is the Canneloni, which RK ordered:

I should have eat first before food blogging next time, because thinking back to this meal is making my stomach grumble. The pasta was done perfectly, just enough sauce so coat everything with delicious flavour. It tastes as good as it looks, let me assure you. The beer might also have helped to enhance the taste. If anybody finds Dragon’s Milk here, drop me a message.

This was one of two meals where I had leafy greens on this 4 day trip:



This was the steak salad at the Urbana Craeft Kitchen, located in the lobby of our hotel, recommended by the server. The steak was perfectly done, and the vegetables were fresh, but too bad it had a large amount of blue cheese that I wasn’t too in love with. Still, impressed by the quality at the hotel.



Got home yesterday, and I still don’t feel like myself yet. Hopefully, my body will reset after this weekend. It's no wonder I still feel like crap though, as you'll see in the next few posts. The night before this salad, I had Chipotle at the Mall of America. They gave me a free meal, because I waited a good 15-20 minutes before they got to me. I’m glad I had a chance to visit the mall though.
