There's a place at the indoor market at the St Paul Farmer's Market called Galvan Foods. They have homemade tortillas both flour and heirloom corn. They serve breakfast tacos and posole. My granddaughter said the posole is as good as her Dad's which is saying something.

What a journey the past couple of years has been for you! Thank you for sharing that first episode. And I love the blooper reel! 😂

Thanks Rebecca. I could never have imagined where we were headed!

Two thoughts. I don't know that it really works for a TV segment, but if anyone is in Inver Grove Heights, I highly recommend the locally-owned coffeeshop "Cuppa More Pages," which includes a large wall of books that is fueled by a "bring one, take one" philosophy. A wide range of coffees and teas, some incredible food and pastries made in house as well as those brought in from other local businesses. For me, it's turned into a soothing and friendly "third space" to hang out when I needed to get out of the house.

Also, while I can't make this trip, it sounds amazing and it remains one of my bucket list things.

And thanks for subscribing to my newsletter. I was just at Cuppa More Pages this morning after speaking to a class at nearby Simley High. And I will put the pivot podcast on my listening list.

Thank you for bringing these local food and drink stories to life! Here's a few favorites that come to mind...Amore Coffee in West St Paul (don't miss their baked on site banana bread hearts and seasonal specials), Isanti Spirits in Isanti (the juniper for their gin comes from their own front yard), CannonBelles Cheese (woman and veteran owned business sourcing their milk from a dairy five miles down the road), and Chef Beth Fisher's work bringing local food to life through the culinary program at the MN Landscape Arboretum. Also, perhaps something featuring our dear Sue Z?

Some great ideas! That Arboretum program is really wonderful
