Food Scene
This tiny diner offers only breakfast and lunch but has spectacular food, much of it with a Korean twist. Still, best cheeseburger and fries I've had in the Twin Cities. ENORMOUS cinnamon rolls. And the BiBimBop Korean Salad is not to be missed. Everything homemade and locally sourced when possible.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu of this downtown St. Paul French restaurant. I learned to love oysters here. And the martinis are not to be beat.

Known for their Juicy Lucy burger. I personally adore the fries and buffalo chicken wings. Their sister restaurant is The Nook on Hamline, which is also great but smaller so harder to get into.

Supatra's Thai Cuisine

This is actually an Italian deli and just south of St. Paul in Mendota Heights. Worth the drive. Create-your-own pasta, salad or sandwich -- and the best deli salads I've had in town.

I've been to this fairly new restaurant twice. Once it was Four Star, the second time, 3-1/2. It makes things you don't think you'll like taste fabulous. Yum.
