SEVEN QUICK QUESTIONS:

1) What's your favorite bridge?

The Hennepin Avenue bridge. For me, it's the bridge that makes it seem like Nye’s is in the Emerald City.

2) Who is the greatest Minnesotan of all time?

Terry Gilliam

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

Chef’s choice from the Town Talk Diner. No pressure.

4) What is your favorite local drink?

A Sandinista from Grumpy’s downtown. It's a house specialty shot with Sriracha and Tequila. It sounds scary and it most definitely is, but you'll never order a Scooby Snack again.

5) Do you have a Minnesota guilty pleasure?

"Crush on You" by the Jets and freebasing cheese curds.

6) What's your favorite smell in the Twin Cities?

The lilac bushes by the freeway on LaSalle Avenue.

7) First night of the snow emergency... park on the odd or the even?

If you're smart, don’t park on the damn streets at all during an snow emergency. It’ll only lead to heartache. Years of living in Loring taught me that, $150 a lesson.
