"The fresh seafood restaurant went out while doing a Cajun pop-up, under the guidance of James Beard Award winning chef Tim McKee. First opened in October of 2017 inside a gorgeous lofted space in the historic St. Paul neighborhood. The restaurant was just part of an ambitious collaborative space that also included Almanac fish market, Salty Tart cafe, and more. Octo Fishbar was the centerpiece restaurant, with a full bar, open kitchen, and plenty of freshly-flown-in seafood. The menu meandered through shore lunch sunnies and abundant seafood towers packed with delicacies." - Joy Summers
"James Beard Award winning Tim McKee’s Lowertown restaurant is open and serving seafood favorites all weekend long. Order dishes like lobster rolls, peel and eat shrimp (ask for extra Comeback Sauce), and jalapeño cheddar link. Order online." - Joy Summers
"James Beard Award winning chef Tim McKee's seafood restaurant is the single best place in town to order up a seafood tower. McKee has partnered with local seafood importer The Fish Guys to make hard-to-find seafood into accessible dishes. From casual dinner or pre-event drinks to weekend brunch pop-ups, this is place to see and be seen." - Joy Summers
"A concha, that tasty bready bun that’s just a bit sweet wrapped around a burger with pepperjack cheese, served with fries and churros with caramel sauce. There’s an optional tallboy add on for those 21+ who like that sort of thing." - Joy Summers
"Diane Moua is one of the most respected members of the Twin Cities dining community. She’s the executive pastry chef at Spoon & Stable, Bellecour, and Demi. But we wouldn’t have Diane without her father, Teng Moua. Teng came to the United States in 1982 with his wife, Nhia, and raised six kids. Today, Teng is struggling with rectal cancer. This event is being held to help with his mounting medical bills, and every cent of the proceeds will go to his recovery. You’ll be helping a man who gave it all to help his children have a life here in the States. Don’t worry, though, the event won’t be a somber one. You’ll be joined by the energy of event emcee Jason DeRusha, WCCO anchor and local foodie, plus dozens of prominent chef and bartender guests." - Matt Gundrum
