@bleuduckkitchen welcomed a new pop-up concept in

@bleuduckkitchen welcomed a new pop-up concept in the front of the restaurant tonight- Cantina del Pato Azul!

Bleu Duck now offers a new socially distanced indoor dining space in the front and back (the back room is now a reservation only, 6-feet-apart dining room).

Also... Am I the only one to think it's too early to be shoveling snow...? 😢

Love those pics of Erik shoveling in short sleeves tho 🤣

Local farmers are often proud of the meats they ra

Local farmers are often proud of the meats they raised. The animals they raise only ever have one bad day in their lives. If you choose to eat meat, learning about where food comes from and how they are raised is extremely important.

We visited Moenning Meats last week and their piggies are some of the happiest I've ever seen. Moenning meats started their herd in 1939 when Paul's father Arno started his 4H project.

Now, Cathy, Paul and their son John works together on the farm. John has a wealth of knowledge on the pigs they raise! Their love for these piggies really show in the way they care about them. ♥️

We learned so much about their animals, and the way they farm. So much detail and design went into raising the pigs.

Visit Moenning Meats next time you're at @rochfarmmkt, learn all about Moenning's pork with Cathy & John! (They also have a very impressive bacon selection!)

Happy National Pork Month

We went kayaking yesterday in beautiful sunshine & gorgeous colors! 😍

Then we tried some beer at the newly opened @sylvanbrewing in @lanesboromn, got some caramel apples at @blossom_hill_orchard, and visited some pretty spoiled piggies. They got to eat all the organic apples and pumpkins!

We got pretty wet kayaking but it was so fun and worth it. @rootriveroutfitters said we'd probably have to get out and drag the kayaks because the river has been pretty low and dry, but we're happy to report that we didn't have to get out once! We did get stuck a few times but managed to unstuck without getting out. 🙌

No walking in 50 degree water for us! 😜

We're glad we wrapped up fall 2020 social distancing with kayaks.

#RochMNFood- a new eatery is in town and you already know who they are- @fiddleheadcoffeeco ! They will be testing their new menu this week so go try them out!

@fiddleheadcoffeeco invited me to mess around in their kitchen and take photos of their new foods today and it was so fun to see and hear how the new menu came to life.

Lots of coffee was involved and I tested out the new speedlite I got. I've never shot with a flash before (last 3 images), there are definitely a few kinks I need to figure out but I'm happy that I now have more flexibility to shoot during any hour of the day.

New restaurant info will be updated on Rochmnfood.com tomorrow! Stay tuned and use #rochmnfood to show your support for local foods! ♥️

I've learned to stop complaining and bargaining wi

I've learned to stop complaining and bargaining with the price of locally-grown foods. We visited @whitewater_gardens_farm a few weeks ago to help harvest sweet potatoes. It was 90degrees, not a cloud in the sky that day.

After 3 hours of work, 9 of us harvested 1.5 rows of sweet potatoes. (550ft a row, 12 more rows to go!)

We sweat, wr chatted, we laughed, squatted, bent our backs for 3 hours. We were also covered in dirt, and sore by the time we took a break.

Im forever grateful for the farmers who are putting all the love and work into growing fresh foods for our community.
♥️♥️♥️

Whitewater Gardens is a organic farm, so snakes and cute little fuzzy voles could be found hanging out by the sweet potatoes!

A year ago, we went on an adventure to Orchid Isla

A year ago, we went on an adventure to Orchid Island, Taiwan. Hand-carved 拼板舟 canoe, big waves, large body of crystal clear water. I'm deeply attracted to the simplicity of life, fresh foods, and arts on the island.

Orchid island and Taiwan's relationship is a lot like Hawaii to the US. Technically a part of Taiwan, but it's culture, vibe, people, and history is very different. It's honestly a lot like Hawaii!

When we were on the island, an elder told us that their traditional language can be understood by the indigenous groups of the Philippines, proof that they were originally from the same tribes and voyaged across the seas. How cool is that?

Tiny tiny grill party! 中秋節就是要烤肉！

Tiny tiny grill party! 中秋節就是要烤肉！As close to the ground as possible, little skewers and vegetables grilled over charcoal with layers of Taiwanese BBQ sauce. One of our moon festival traditions ♥️ (I actually couldn't find my favorite Taiwanese bbq sauce here 😭)
.
Moon, food, drinks, friends, and moon cakes. 🥰
.
Things we like to grill- chicken hearts, mushrooms, corn, tofu, thinly sliced meats, peppers, sweet potatoes, meat balls, fish, and Taiwanese sausages(sweeter than american sausages).
.
Would looove to find a way to have tiny grill party in the winter here.

Tomorrow, August 15th of the lunar calendar, is on

Tomorrow, August 15th of the lunar calendar, is one of the biggest festivals in Chinese/Taiwanese culture. Mid Autumn festival(中秋節) or Moon Festival is one of my favorite holidays.

Traditionally we'd spend time with our family- 月圓人團圓(when the moon is full, families are full), sit around and drink tea, eat moon cakes, and tell stories under the full moon.

A more modern "tradition" in Taiwan that started originally as an ad campaign is BBQing on Mid-autumn festival. Every year now, down the sides of the streets, tiny alleys, and on patios, in the parks, you'll see people coming together with their tiny grills bbqing together. It's quite an interesting sight. 😅

It's not like the bbq here in the US. Our "bbq" is more like yakitori style. Small charcoal grills usually sit low to the ground, people squat around grilling skewers, vegetables, meatballs, meats, and often lots of seafood.

Tomorrow! We'll be grilling Taiwanese style for the first time since we moved here! Could not find my usual bbq sauce to grill with but I'm super excited about it. Will definitely be making stories so stay tuned and check out what we're grilling! 😍

What are you hungry for today? #RochMNFood page is

What are you hungry for today? #RochMNFood page is back and better than ever! Now there are search filters and map views for all the local food listings so it's more user friendly.

Why use choochoocachew.com/RochMNFood when there are so many other listings?

When I started the page, I found it hard to find all the information in the same listing. I wanted be able to find UberEats links, their number, hours, social media and whether they have gift cards and more all in one place. On top of that, if they now offer dine in, delivery or have outdoor dining space available.

Thanks to @downtownrochestermn and @rochestermnchamber for sponsoring this project, I am able to spend more time building RochMNFood into what I envisioned and keep supporting our amazing local food businesses.

This is an ongoing update! I look forward to adding more food to the list- including food trucks, food producers, and cottage food(bakers)!

Please never stop supporting local. I hope you find this resource helpful. Send me a DM if you have updates on food businesses or leave a comment for suggestions on how to improve the page.

Use #RochMNFood to show off beautiful foods Rochester has to offer! 😘 Let's build a foodie city.

🙏🙏🙏
