OM DENNE EPISODE
Michelin announced that Minneapolis (and not St. Paul) will be included in its upcoming Great Lakes Guide, and they will be issuing stars to the restaurants in town that they deem worthy. Minnesota's independent food critic Kirstie Kimball joins host Sean McPherson and contributor PaviElle French to break down what that could mean for the Twin Cities food scene, and who Michelin is likely to leave behind. The team also celebrates some Twin Cities Wins for the week, and sits down with local playwright Katie Ka Vang to discuss her upcoming show, "Hmong Futures: The Future of Us", which is playing now at Theater Mu through May 3.
