All hail this bumper crop of passionate, risk-taking restaurateurs —all newcomers to the business — who have recently infused the Twin Cities dining scene with a much appreciated jolt of originality: (From left to right) David Weinstein of Rye Deli, Conrad Leifur and Ann Kim of Pizzeria Lola, Craig Bentdahl of Mill Valley Kitchen, Dean Engelmann of Wise Acre Eatery, Andrew Dayton and Eric Dayton of the Bachelor Farmer and the Wise Acre Eatery’s Scott Endres. Collectively, their rookie efforts boast levels of expertise that often elude more well seasoned practitioners.

I really enjoy your work and appreciate the support for the food community in the Twin Cities....but no African-Americans? Out of 50? If that accurately reflects the food scene here, there's a story in there that needs to be told. If it doesn't accurately reflect the food scene here, you need to work on that. cheers.

This article is stunning. Stunning in that there isn't a single black person in the Taste 50. I had the same emotion as robfrank when I read the paper this morning. This doesn't represent our cities well.
