Rush Tickets Are Added For Travail

Dinner at Travail could always be considered a show. From Nerf guns to liberal use of smoke and sometimes literal mirrors, the innovative team of chefs take dining to new heights of entertainment. It makes sense, then, to start selling rush tickets much like the theater world on the occasion that the seats don’t fill up. The Star Tribune reports that after a large cancellation last weekend, the restaurant sent an email to fans who had signed up for newsletters and the vacated seats sold quickly at a discounted priced. Follow along on their website for a chance to snag those few occasional dinner seats or check out their new family meal service.

Dalton & Wade / The Restaurant Project

— Dalton & Wade and Herbie’s On the Park are both getting into the bottomless brunch game. Dalton & Wade is the new North Loop bar with the all-encompassing “country” food menu, which likely translates a hefty heaping of breakfast gravy this Sunday. The first brunch will be held September 24 beginning at 10 a.m. and for $19.89 (the year the movie Roadhouse came out) you can get endless brunch foods. Dishes are also available a la cart.

Herbie’s on the Park by St. Paul’s downtown Rice Park has added $5 bloody Mary’s and bottomless Mimosas to its brunch line up.
