The Nook

Once a month a group of my friends get together for what we call the "Foodie Club". Last year our theme was Sushi Club. Each month we chose a different sushi place in the Twin Cities area. The top of the list for most people was Fuji Ya in Uptown.

This year we decided to switch gears and try "Cheap Date Night". These will be made up of dives and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. We kicked off Cheap Date Night tonight at the Nook in Saint Paul. Ten of us crammed into this tiny restaurant after waiting forever to get a table together.

Most of us ordered their famous Juicy Nooky burger, which is a burger stuffed with molten hot cheese in the center. We only had one person get 2nd degree burns from not waiting long enough before biting into the burger! I should also mention that they fry their french fries twice...yum!

Next month we are heading to the Wienery in South Minneapolis, which is famous for their hot dogs.
