The Newsroom's new Cobb Salad with a soft-boiled egg and heirloom tomatoes.

Read all about it: Nicollet Mall mainstay the Newsroom has acquired new cooking talent and designed a new menu. Joe Campbell has joined executive chef Andrew Baebenroth's team as sous chef. Their new menu debuted last week.
The restaurant offers an American-eclectic menu and is centrally located in the Nicollet Mall strip in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. Typically the Newsroom attracts the convention, theater, and business customers. The restaurant is known for its ability to handle volume and large parties, as well as for its large patio and its prime location for happy hour.

Banh mi makes the cut, as does doughnut hole.

​Language standards are loosening up, as evidenced by last week's update of the Oxford English Dictionary, which added a few slangy acronyms--OMG and LOL, FYI, and WAG--as well as the trendy terms smack talk, couch surf, fixed gear, and ick factor.

In the food world, there were several newcomers--a few that seemed so common we were surprised they weren't in there already (where has doughnut hole been all these years?), and a few so obscure that we were surprised they made the cut.

It seems straight out of the Onion, but this is not a joke (I don't think). A new Minneapolis-based company called Man Cave is soliciting dudes to sell meat and grilling accessories at male-only home parties. It's like Pampered Chef for the testosterone set.

If you want to host a "MEATing," Man Cave will take care of the rest, including sending one of its "advisors" over, flush with ribs and buffalo burgers and "all the essentials to make your cave official." The more Man Cave products that sell at your MEATing the bigger the discount for the host.

Man Cavers out there (you know who you are), what say ye?

Chairman Bob used to just be the weird, bunny rabbit-faced cartoon guy staring impassively out from your Rainbow grocery bags. Now that he's evolved into a more in-the-flesh version of himself, staring down from area highway billboards all semi-condescending and James Bond-esque, standing next to giant slices of beef or a glazed doughnut, he has converted from scary and put-offy to actually ok. Don't you think?
