"Do you like to brunch?"
An innocent enough question that I asked to a few co-workers several years ago now. It started a monthly tradition of finding the diners and neighborhood cafes where we would go enjoy the pancakes and eggs and get to know more about each other than the roles we fill in our office.
We started in St. Paul at Key's Cafe (http://www.keyscafe.com/). An appropriate starting point as it is a legendary diner that now boasts several locations around the Twin Cities. Of course, we went to the original, tucked away on a side street just off of University Avenue. It is tiny and the portions are generous as evidenced on our (re)visit last year when a 'side' order of bacon produced a small plate with a pile of foot-long strips of bacon. Plenty for sharing!
It was a wonderful place to start that we do re-visit on occasion. I've visited many other locales that I will write more about in no particular order. Brunch - though a very lovely institution - is not the only meal. There will also be restaurants visited with other food-loving friends of which there is a growing and ever varying selection in the Twin Cities. So much more to come! So many more meals to partake of in life!
