Brunching in the MSP - Blackbird Cafe

I like brunch...a lot. 

It's one of my absolute favorite things to do on the weekends so we've been trying to make it more of a habit lately. So we figured why not document our brunch journeys and share them with you guys?? Because honestly...who doesn't like pictures of breakfast food??!

This last weekend we went to Blackbird Cafe - a "farm to fork" cafe in Minneapolis. It's one of those places where no matter when you go (lunch, brunch, dinner) it's ALWAYS delicious and the service is always great. Pictured below is one of my favorite breakfast items, the Oxtail Hash: oxtail & root vegetables topped with two basted eggs & hollandaise. with toast and homemade jam. 

Dan ordered the Veal Sweetbreads Benedict which came with two poached eggs, fresh baked english muffin, steamed spinach & hollandaise.

If you go there for dinner there are some really delicious options as well...a few of my favorites: 

• The Spicy Peanut Noodles with smoked chicken confit, roasted shiitakes & poached egg
• The Longhorn Sandwich: braised beef brisket, caramelized onions, tomatoes, provolone, horseradish mayo
• The Banh Mi: slow roasted pork, jalapenos, pickled vegetables, pate, cilantro & mayo 

The Twin Cities definitely has a lot of delicious, local restaurants. We'll be sharing a few of our favorites every week...so stay tuned!!
