Two Mixed Up’s modestly named Just a Burger is now being served in the downtown Minneapolis skyway. The new stand from the group softly opened in the bright, revamped space with plenty of seating in the Deluxe Plaza (121 S. 8th St.)
On the menu, in addition to that burger, are other comfort foods like Buffalo chicken-topped mac and cheese, teriyaki chicken rice bowl with broccoli and a serious cheesesteak sandwich. All menu items include fries and a drink. When we stopped by, owners were still working out details like regular hours and a final menu.
Meanwhile, the original Graze location (520 N. 4th St., Mpls.) is open as usual.
Longfellow bakery plans move to St. Paul
Savory Bakehouse announced plans to relocate from its longtime home at 3008 36th Av. S., just off Lake Street in the Longfellow neighborhood to a new, roomier bakery space somewhere in St. Paul. After 11 years in the small storefront, famous for long lines on the limited days it’s open, they shared the news on Instagram that after much consideration, the bakery is crossing the river.
The good news is that the new location will allow for folks to actually approach a bakery counter and pick out treats. Plus, there will be more space for the super-small operation founded by Sandy Sherva and Max Okray to do its baking.
No address or end date have been announced just yet, but holiday orders are still open on the website.
