| Red Cow is ready for business |
Shimp was once part of the Blue Plate Restaurant company with his sister Stephanie Shimp and David Burley. The company owns and operates the nearby Edina Grill, the Lowry, and more.
This is his first restaurant on his own, but it is pulled together with the confidence of a man who has been in the hospitality business for years. He brought in chef Evan Connolly, who has worked at Buster's on 28th, W. A. Frost, and the Happy Gnome.

| Scotch eggs are all the rage |
The menu is packed with burgers and comforting dishes for grazing, such as different varieties of poutine, bahn mi, soups, salads, sandwiches, and more.
It's also got Scotch eggs, which are to 2013 what poutine was to 2012. The highly flavorful banger-style sausage is wrapped around hard-boiled eggs, fried, and served with a spiked mayonnaise.

| Summit beer cheese sauce with slow-braised beef over French fries |
The poutine we sampled was skin-on fries topped with slow-braised beef and a cheddar cheese sauce spiked with Summit beer.
Speaking of beer, hop lovers will find plenty to smile about with the list at Red Cow. The beer list is long and full of variety, as is the wine list. Wines are stored on tap, and glass prices range from familiar, affordable quaffs around the $6 mark up to one $20 glass of cabernet sauvignon.

| Bison burger topped with goat cheese and figs |
The bison burger was well seasoned and served with creamy goat cheese and fig slivers. The veggie burger was the biggest hit: a spicy, curry-seasoned patty that was crispy on the outside and creamy and tender on the inside.
While Red Cow is near the hub of activity that is 50th and France, it's far enough removed that neighborhood parking and traffic will be managable. At night the parking options should be downright easy. Red Cow's next-door neighbor, Wuollet Bakery, shares its lot.
Hours: Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-midnight
