The cheese (cart) does not stand alone
Filed under: Food
In a recent review of Meritage in St. Paul, I mentioned that they were the only restaurant in the Twin Cities that had a cheese cart. I just found out that's no longer the case: Heidi's in Minneapolis recently transitioned from serving a cheese plate to a cheese "trolley," under the command of maitre d' Frank Thorpe. (At Meritage, cheeses are sold individually, for $5 apiece; Heidi's offers an assortment for $17.)
If you're a fan of having your food wheeled out and served tableside, try the bananas Foster at R. Norman's, which offers a pretty fantastic flaming display.

Wait, R. Norman's actually flambes the Bananas Foster? No one seems to do that anymore, disappointingly enough.

They sure do! Apparently, though, only certain staff members are covered by the necessary insurance for doing the tableside flambe...when I tried to order it late on a weeknight, there wasn't anyone around who was ok'd to do it.

I like cheese a lot, but then there is a problem later, and I don't like that...
