City Pages Weighs In On Andrew Zimmern’s Lucky Cricket | Eater Twin Cities

"Visiting Andrew Zimmern’s first restaurant, Lucky Cricket, I found the glossy photos and publicity materials don’t match the reality: the food reads like mediocre mall-style Chinese fare, but I genuinely enjoyed a powerful boozy slushie. The opening, which began with excitement, quickly turned into a firestorm after Zimmern made several inflammatory comments about “horseshit” Chinese food—comments he has since apologized for—and local coverage has been relentless. My overall reaction is mostly a shrug: one standout slushie amid otherwise uninspired mall food, wrapped up in controversy." - Joy Summers
