The headquarters for my company is in Minneapolis and when I visited last, I tweeted about my upcoming trip, of course. Within a few minutes of my tweet, a restaurant located in the Plymouth suburb tweeted me back to say that I should really come try its duck salad during my visit. I thought “yeah, right, like my co-workers will just drive me there for lunch” and I thanked the person tweeting for the recommendation.
Mushroom Soup
On my second day at the office, the team went out to lunch and to my amazement, the place my colleagues picked was Eat Shop Kitchen & Bar, my Twitter pen pal from earlier in the week! What are the chances that in all of food-friendly Minneapolis, that we’d visit this place, in that suburban town. I tweeted my delight at this good fortune and made my way into one of the neatest restaurants I’ve been to in that foodie town. There were beer taps everywhere, the space was modern yet casual in style with an open kitchen and the menu creative and tempting.
I opted for a soup of the day, mushroom lemongrass, which was bright with lime and lemongrass flavors and generous with wild mushrooms. How could I pass up my earlier recommendation of duck salad? Well, I didn’t. Executive Chef Jeff Anderson’s huge salad was topped with duck confit, duck bacon and a poached egg that had me in foodie seventh heaven.
Duck Salad
The only thing I was sorry about was having to go back to work without trying the amazing craft beers being poured at this popular restaurant. I’ll definitely be back for that and some of the neat events held at this fun restaurant.
