Bohemian Beer Rhapsody
The New Bohemia opened in Northeast Minneapolis, and introduced a modern twist on an old idea.
“We’ll see if we can get fellow Minnesotans close to each other,” joked Jeff Bornmann, owner of the New Bohemia (pictured above, at left), a restaurant that opened last month in Northeast Minneapolis, taking over the space once occupied by a Panera Bread.
It’s like that chain restaurant never existed. The space was gutted out, and in its place, something completely different from the now ubiquitous paninis and salads. “It’s a modern beer hall,” said Noel Bowman, the restaurants managing partner (pictured above, at right).
That it is.

Leading with the menu
Sure, Kaskaid Hospitality’s growth strategy hinges on great real estate. But its lasting success rests on major investment in kitchen leadership.
When the Eden Prairie-based Kaskaid Hospitality announced in July that it was launching its Union restaurant in downtown Minneapolis, it revealed its intent to become the leading culinary name in Minnesota—and among the top in the country. It’s an ambitious, multi (multi)-million dollar concept—three levels, two kitchens and rooftop dining beneath a four-seasons retractable glass roof, with a major talent leading the kitchen.
Kaskaid also announced in that month it was resurrecting one of the Twin Cities most iconic restaurant names: Figlio. Kaskaid founder and CEO Kam Talebi (pictured above) secured what outwardly appears to be a coup of sorts, contracting the brand via a licensing arrangement from its owner, Parasole Restaurant Holdings.

Green means ‘go’ at Rodizio Grill
It’s a simple premise. Turn the tally green end up, and there is meat. And lots of other stuff. Turn it red end up and the caravan of grilled protein, veggies and pineapple stops. At least until you turn it over again.
