Celeb-spotting at 7 Sushi Lounge

Filed under: Food

According to one of its waiters, the hot new nightspot 7 Sushi Lounge, upstairs from R. Norman's on 7th and Hennepin, is frequented by "lots of hockey players" and "minor celebrities." I, unfortunately, didn't see any on my visits. The only person I recognized was WCCO's Sue Zelickson (in R. Norman's, actually) whose fame may rank more on par with a player from the Junior Hockey League than the Minnesota Wild. Here's my tally so far:

R. Norman/7 Sushi Lounge
Sue Z.

Bellanotte
Rashad Mccants (check out his poetry)

Who have you spotted? And what constitutes a "minor celebrity" in this town, anyway?

I don't think I've seen any minor celebs in a Minneapolis eatery, but I was pretty excited to see Frank Rich crossing the street on Manhattan's Upper West Side last week. Oh, and I think I saw Sam Shepard at Sebastian Joe's once.

I would define a minor celeb here as: television personality (I guess we're limited to news folk), local sports hero, Garrison Keillor, Al Franken, and any sexually shamed politician.

I usually only see my sexually shamed friends when I hit the town for meals -- something tells me I'm not going to the right places. Actually, I saw G. Keillor dining on Selby once. And last week I was in the airport security line with Tubby Smith. RH, I'm impressed you could spot Sue Z. considering she's about 2'8".

I've been to 7even a few times and haven't seen any national celebrities, but I have been fortunate enough to share a cocktail with the Dilan Hoff of local Party Boys Crew fame. He was there with fellow crew members Terry Fox, Darik Jawline and Jake Bossman. Can you say Jager Bomb?

Okay, I saw Al Fraken in the lobby of a hotel one time, no kidding!
