You read it here first, folks: The next wave in Minneapolis restaurants is upon us, and it involves a level of urban and farm-country collaboration that hasn't been seen in decades, if ever. In fact, our food scene has finally reached the point where you can have a wedding just like your great-grandparents might have had, featuring food your neighbors raised.

Second St., Minneapolis, 612.225.6499; www.cueatguthrie.com.)
