We are fortunate to be surrounded by a culinary landscape that is as diverse as it is delicious. Edina boasts an array of wonderful restaurants, charming coffee shops and thriving food-related businesses that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of our community.
In this issue, which is all about food, immerse yourself in the aroma of freshly brewed coffee as we unveil how a couple transformed their beloved coffee cart into a neighborhood hub.
We also meet James Anderson, the son of Dave Anderson of Famous Dave’s, and we learn how he is keeping tradition alive as a third-generation barbecue enthusiast.
Food has a magical way of bringing people together, creating moments of connection. Another tie that binds is celebrating cultural events. We have a delightful story about one woman’s joy in bringing a Chaharshanbeh Suri—a Persian fire jumping festival—to Edina. This captivating event transcends cultural boundaries and is a true testament to the power of community.
These stories show how we can build connections through sharing—whether it’s over food or over traditions we hold dear. We hope this issue inspires you to savor the unique flavors that make our city exceptional.
