"In East Grand Forks I’m anticipating Molly Yeh’s new project, Bernie’s, which will include Bernie’s Farmhouse (a full-service restaurant), Bernie’s Cafe (an all-day cafe), and Bernie’s Market (a retail pantry and cookbook shop), with a menu rooted in Midwest and Scandinavian traditions—rotating hotdishes, roast chicken with potatoes and carrots, hand-rolled lefse for brunch, and grab-and-go cafe items like open-faced smoked whitefish, salmon, ham, and egg salad sandwiches and knoephla soup—housed in a historic art-deco building on the banks of the Red River with more than 160 indoor seats and about 60 on the patio." - Justine Jones
