Food...

Everyone knows I am addicted to Starbucks. Everyone. If you don't know that about me well then—do you really even know me? My friend Nora works at Starbucks and told me that they got a new bakery item. That being a cupcake. I love cupcakes. I don't really know why, other than the fact that they are delicious, right? So yesterday I decided I was going to go to Starbucks and get a cupcake to try with an Ice Grande Chai.


Looks delicious, right? Well let me tell you something—it totally sucked. It was the worst cupcake I have had in my life I think. Super dry, the frosting tasted like wax. Was it chocolate? Because it tasted like poop. I was so disapointed. However my Ice Grande Chai was tasty as ever. I was reading the Mpls St.Paul Magazine 2007 Readers' Faves in regurads to resturants, or any place to get food or drink. I came to the coffee section only to find that Caribou Coffee, the minnesota native coffee company came in first to Starbucks. Who would have thought that Minnesotains could be so dull? Well I mean I guess they are, them liking Caribou over Starbucks goes to show a) where their loyalties lie (ie, this stupid state) and b) Minnesotains like piss coffee. You know, coffee with no taste. Coffee that should be served at perkins because it is so watered down. In my not–so–humble opinion Caribou Coffee is gross, watered down and just—weak. Starbucks has at least something bold to offer me.


As I continued to read about the Readers' Faves I came across the top 5 places to get Breakfast in the cities. This is helpful to me because living in the burbs I feel like the only place to eat breakfast is Perkins or Embers. Here's the list...

1. Keys Cafe
2. Hell's Kitchen
3. Al's Breakfast
4. Perkins (seriously?)
5. The Origional Pancake House & Zumbro Cafe (tied for 5th)

Sad to see Perkins made it on the list, but I mean their pancakes are pretty darn good.
