White tablecloths and tuxedoed waiters be hanged! 112 Eatery proves that truly fine dining lies within the food and the comfort, not in the fussy details (or outrageous prices, for that matter). Located in Minneapolis' funky Warehouse District, this unpretentious restaurant has made a major splash on the national food scene since opening in 2005. Chef/co-owner Isaac Becker, a James Beard nominee for Best Chef: Midwest in 2008, and wife Nancy St. Pierre succeed in creating a "restaurant that redefines ‘mom and pop eatery'," as inviting, cozy booths distinguish the small dining room, and late-night hours make it a popular gathering spot for chefs after work and foodies looking to avoid the crowds. Becker's reasonably priced menu is both ultra-progressive and playful, as tagliatelle with foie gras meatballs and sautéed sweetbreads in porcini and clam sauce exist alongside Chinese fried eggs, a duck pâté bahn mi sandwich and one decadent gourmet cheeseburger.
