Greetings Gastronauts. It’s time once again to celebrate separating your trash, riding your bike and winter that feels like late fall. She must be warming up to us and it’s time to say thanks to Mother Earth. Our April 20 Pre Earth Day Confection Carousel comes with a WARNING…

This is a rare Friday night show and no restaurant in their right mind would give us their chef. So we’re setting savory to the side on this one and are bringing in 3 of the most talented pastry chefs in town. So Please, make sure you eat dinner before the show because you will be receiving 3 dessert courses.

Dustan Pinlac of Levain will be the first to establish the base of your sugar rush. Christian Aldrich of Haute Dish will bring the sucrose to the second course and put your taste hairs on edge. James Beard Nominee Michelle Gayer of Salty Tart Bakery will be the one to glaze you off this candy cliff into the abyss of ethereal dulcification.

Each course will be paired with a sample of the bubbly brown stuff from Lagunitas Brewery, there’s even word that we’re going to get one of the few elusive kegs of Waldo’s Ale, an ultra rare Imperial/Double IPA that has only been available in California until now. Corey Shovein of Hohenstein Distributing will be on hand for quality control and Lagunitas craft beer dorkspeak.

The honeyed vocal styling of the Cactus Blossoms will start the night off right on the waltz tip. Heavy Deeds will be bringing their laid back grooves and harmony ambrosia on a journey between your ears to help your second course settle and Michael Gaughan will be performing as Little Dog on Top of a Big Dog to bring your saccharin soaked journey to a close with a dose of perma grin.

As always, Clancey’s Meat and Fish in Linden Hills will be providing carcass for our Dead Meat Door Prize.

Local Author Matte Resist will be on hand to answer any gardening or bike repair questions. He will also be selling and signing copies of his book How and Why : A Do It Yourself Guide.

Tickets are $8 in advance here or you can buy them at the door for $12

Greetings Gastronauts, we beckon you to the Triple Rock on Dec. 11 for a glance into the culinary future of Chef Jack Riebel’s forthcoming eating house Butcher and the Boar. Tentative vittles include green chili soup, wild boar sausage and a dessert style grilled cheese. But don’t hold him to it, all food objects are subject to change. 

The boys from Fulton Beer will be on hand to pour a few samples and continue to celebrate the opening of their new beer assembly and boilery facility in Minneapolis.

For music, the lovable and hairy Gabe from 4onthefloor will be bringing his Kind of Alt-Country side project Silverback Colony by to kick off the night and make you feel all right. Dream Crusher is playing second and their job is to twist your brain in 5 different directions and leave it quivering on the floor. Fortified Five will finish out the night by infusing tasty riffs with deviant licks giving your jaw a reason to drop.

As always Northern Brewer will be on hand to talk about brew and Clancey’s Meat will be the cornerstone behind the calamity of the Dead Meat Door Prize.
