In Times of Hardship, One Restaurant Group Is Determined to Deliver More Hope | Eater Twin Cities

"Expected to open in late July or early August in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill, The Gnome is being positioned as a big, beer-forward pub with an expansive patio and a wide price range — from a $10 burger up to a $110 steak — supported by more than 100 taps pouring local beer plus cold-brew coffee, Champagne, tiki cocktails and more. I learned that Aaron Cave will lead the pub kitchen and that cultural practices like mandatory time off (Cave has blocked his calendar and plans to turn his phone off for family time) are being built into the operation under culinary director Justin Sutherland and the Ingrams, reflecting an emphasis on sustaining staff rather than burning them out." - Joy Summers
