Plate-of-food-300x225_small This week on Culture Queue, we've cooked up something good: It's our food show. Senior Producer Zach McCormick investigates the current craft beer renaissance and the storied past of beer brewing with Minnesota's Town Hall Brewery. New reporter Kelsey Kuno handles our Question of the Week, asking, "What one food do you make better than anyone else?" Producer Noel Clark examines the daily operation of a "greasy spoon" diner by spending some time with the staff and patrons of Our Kitchen in South Minneapolis.
In our Top 7 this week, we celebrate the forthcoming summer and its seasonal delights. Producer Tess Weinberg joins Zach McCormick in counting down their best ideas or new food truck menus. Finally, Culture Queue goes retro with a report from the gone-but-not-forgotten Eric Dolski, an examination of the "mouth feel" of food. Bon apetit!

"Beef Rapp" by MF DOOM
"Beer for Breakfast" by The Replacements
"Eggs & Sausage" by Tom Waits
