Here is a picture of Dean and me on the cruise. Yes, it was nice to see the sun!

Some people are asking what is the delay on the Downtown Location. The delay is the build-out. Marquette Plaza is doing the build-out for us to get us into the location. The cost of build-out came to about 5 times the amount they were expecting it to cost. So, they are in the process of trying to reduce costs with getting more bids. We have no control over this….sorry.

To become more Food Focused we are going to start posting our WEEKLY SPECIALS online.

The Herbivore Sandwich
Our Pesto on a ciabatta roll, with red pepper rings, tomato, red onions, swiss cheese and topped with field greens after it comes out of the oven. Served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Delicious!

Seared Tuna Salad
We season and sear a 6 oz. tuna steak to medium rare perfection, it sits upon a salad of field greens that have been tossed with a golden tomato vinaigrette, fried wonton strips, fresh red onion and garnished with sesame seeds. Served with a side of wasabi aioli.

Dean and I just got home from the RSVP Cruise last night. I am usually pretty happy with the gay life in the Twin Cities: no real gay area but accepted everywhere. But, it is nice sometimes to be fully submerged with people who all have a “coming out” story.

We left from Ft. Lauderdale and had ports in Bahamas, Key West, and Mexico. The ports were sort of boring, but the on-board entertainment and cruise staff made up for them. Taylor Dane was the headliner, but Varla Jean (http://www.varlaonline.com/) was our favorite. She was in the movie Girls will be Girls. We actually met her as a man, had diner with her and her friend and didn’t find out he was Varla until after dinner when someone asked him to sign a cheese-wiz bottle. Catch her show if you are ever in PTown.

We had such a good time we are already booked for the cruise in October….ask us about details if you want to join us.
