Caribbean & soul food fusion: Haitian chicken fettucini, salmon
"Klassics Kitchen + Cocktails, the newest restaurant from Gerard and Brittney Klass, recently launched a weekend brunch buffet, served Sundays only from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It doesn’t hurt to make a reservation for this smorgasbord of lemon pepper salmon and lamb chops; Cajun grits and cheddar scrambled eggs; doughnut French toast and strawberry balsamic salad. There’s an a la carte menu of entrees, too, plus breakfast cocktails." - Eater Staff
"Klassics, the newest venture from Brittney and Gerard Klass of Soul Bowl and the Camden Social, offers a cocktail program with a tropical vibe — think banana-infused coladas; blueberry mint mojitos poured with cognac; and chile watermelon margaritas. On the food menu, chef Gerard shows the full range of his expertise in Guayanese and African American cuisines, fusing Caribbean and soul food influences on a menu of Haitian chicken fettucini, spiced seared salmon on a bed of curried kale, and more." - Eater Staff
"Klassics is the newest venture from Brittney and Gerard Klass of Soul Bowl and the Camden Social, nestled in Minneapolis’s Mill District, just a stone’s throw from the river. This is the couple’s first solo, full-service restaurant — here chef Gerard shows the full range of his expertise in Guayanese and African American cuisines, fusing Caribbean and soul food influences on a menu of Haitian chicken fettucini, spiced seared salmon on a bed of curried kale, and oxtail sliders. As far as dessert goes, opt for the strawberry banana pudding, served smooth and rich and topped with vanilla wafers. Brunch is served weekly on Sundays." - Eater Staff

"I stopped by chef Gerard and Brittney Klass’s new restaurant, Klassics Kitchen + Cocktails, for a late weekday lunch and ordered the spiced seared salmon (the curry chicken gnocchi was a close second). The fish was cooked beautifully with a densely flavorful crust; the yellow rice was almost pearled, like orzo; and the braised kale swirled seamlessly into the pool of curry beneath it all. I make salmon enough at home — in the dutiful, Trader Joe’s filet, soy-and-butter glaze kind of way — that I almost never order it at restaurants, but this was a good choice." - Justine Jones
