SEVEN QUICK QUESTIONS:

1) What place in town considers you a "regular"?

Monte Carlo, Spot Spa in Northeast, and my Ortho doc's office. I've been hangin' pretty low these days and haven't been going much of anywhere.

2) If you could go back in time and set any movie in Minnesota and star in it, what would it be?

I would definitely play the female lead in an old-school, St. Paul gangster movie. I would simultaneously be feared and desired by thugs and cops. They could call it St. Paulie Girl.

3) What are you listening to when you drive to work in the morning?

Before 9 a.m. is MPR, after 9 a.m. is The Current.

4) What is your favorite local drink?

Iced Americano from Espresso Royale, or any wine special at Al Vento.

5) Do you have a Minnesota guilty pleasure?

Pulling out the hardcore Minnesota accent when appropriate.

6) Death bed, one meal from a Twin Cities restaurant, which is it?

112 Eatery in the Warehouse District is a recent favorite. I would try to get all of my favorites to deliver: Big E's, Café Brenda, Tum Rup Thai, Al Vento, POP!, Band Box, Monte Carlo, and for dessert definitely something from Pane Vino Dolce.

7) Where do you lake?

I river it, baby -- the old Miss.
