Heavenly Day Café will be on hand with their gourmet salads and chicken wings, while Cook will be mixing up their infamous sake cocktails.

Like it or not, shopping season is upon us, so you might as well shop with a mulled cider in hand. European street markets seems to be all the rage lately, and Sociable Cider Werks is hosting one every Sunday in November and December. Minneapolis Craft Market is made up of a rotating roster of local artists selling their wares in a festive outdoor market. Wear your best hand made fingerless mittens.

The 5th annual Charlie Awards, our very own "Oscars" of all things food, will be held this Sunday at the Pantages Theatre. The Charlie Awards recognize and celebrate the many contributions that local chefs, bartenders, suppliers and others in the food and beverage industry bring to the Twin Cities. The fun-filled award ceremony is followed by the Minneapolis St. Paul magazine after party at the IDS Center Crystal Court and a VIP Chefs’ dinner featuring a menu from the 2014 Charlie Award winning chefs.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Open Arms of Minnesota, a nonprofit organization that cooks and delivers free meals to individuals living with life-threatening illnesses.
