Minneapolis, MN – Sooki & Mimi
The latest project from James Beard-winning chef Ann Kim along with Conrad Leifur (Pizzeria Lola, Young Joni, Hello Pizza) is set to open Feb. 3. Reservations for the restaurant are set to go on sale Jan. 21 via the restaurant website. Now that she’s mastered the art of a best-in-class pizza crust, she’s hoping to conquer the art of the soft tortilla to go with a menu that has Korean, Midwestern and Latin American influences.
Minneapolis, MN – Owamni
The Sioux Chef’s long-anticipated restaurant in the new Water Works Park along the Mississippi River waterfront in downtown Minneapolis is set to open this spring. According to an update for Kickstarter backers (the project broke records when it raised nearly $150,000 in 2016), the menu will include foods native to Minnesota, “like forest mushrooms, hand-harvested wild rice, leafy greens, smoked turkey and cedar-braised bison.”
