616325 Thu Apr 30 20:37:42 -0700 2009 10 73 Minneapolis-St. Paul 0 4644353 I have been missing this guy's chicken and was searching the CH boards for Rotisseria but didn't find anything since he shutdown in 2008. Found this on mspmag.com http://blogs.mspmag.com/foodiefile/2009/03/chicken-across-the-road.html I don't head out that way too often but this might be a great excuse for the urbanites among us to have a picnic out on lake Minnetonka. Thu Apr 30 20:37:42 -0700 2009 236325 dalewest 1 4644490 This is the best news I've had in a long time! I don't know where Deephaven is, but I will soon find out. I'm already planning a picnic and afternoon at the lake. This chicken is DEFINITELY worth the drive. Anne P.S. Actually, I had already learned about the rebirth of Rotisseria (in a diversion on a the 3/50 thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/609170#4600840 ) but I never get tired of hearing good news. I'm very, very happy. Thu Apr 30 22:00:42 -0700 2009 4644353 12541 AnneInMpls 2 4644667 Little confused, do they open today or tomorrow? I'm sure well be making a trip this weekend for sure. Thanks for the headsup. Fri May 01 02:59:57 -0700 2009 4644490 187315 mnxd9 3 4649615 The Cottagewood General Store is seasonal and I think it opened yesterday based on their website. (It's a very cute place and I hope that the chicken helps keep it running as my understanding is that it hasn't been open continuously.) It is run by the community and typically has fairly limited hours. But it wasn't clear to me from the article that the chicken would be available at Cottagewood on its opening day.

Phone number is posted on the website http://www.cottagewoodusa.com/ Sun May 03 10:32:34 -0700 2009 4649615 11890 faith 5 4652442 The western suburbs are starting to get some excellent ethnic options...Mi casa and Spice in Chaska, Tian Jin in Chanhassen and now Rotisseria in Deephaven. Can anyone comment on prices and side options? Mon May 04 08:48:53 -0700 2009 4650160 75263 dave43 6 4653308 Soon, we are headed out to get us some chicken, WOOT! Mon May 04 12:30:10 -0700 2009 4652442 187315 mnxd9 7 4656834 What's the verdict? I called and they didn't give much information other then the chicken went for $25. That's still a decent deal but I believe I heard that the chicken with 2 sides went for $15 at the old location. Must be the Deephaven rent. Tue May 05 13:56:41 -0700 2009 4653308 75263 dave43 8 4656880 Funny, I was just out there last night. Arrived just before 8:30pm -- this is fair warning for all bring a map if you are not familiar with the lakeshore villages. The General Store itself, which posts no hours, was closed. There were lights at the back entrance, and the rotisseria man himself was tending a small Weber-style grill. The menu for the day was chicken pita, chicken gyro and stromboli. I was seeking a whole chicken. Right now that requires a call ahead. It takes some time and there is not yet enough volume to risk throwing it out at the end of the night. Volume is expected to pick up in the summer and then chickens should be available all the time for walk-in customers. I left without my chicken, but will be back another time. Tue May 05 14:08:44 -0700 2009 4656834 10514 KTFoley 9 4659928 We ordered one this morning (they ask for 2 hours notice) and recently finished munching part of it. Delicious! (I was a little apprehensive; I've read good things about it, but one person's filet mignon...yada yada, and I've been steered wrong by some posts here. This recommendation gets a gold star! I should look up the posters so I know whose taste matches mine.) Anyway, the chicken was cut into pieces and came with a wonderful sauce (on the side). We got the garlic potatoes and green beans as sides. There are other options besides those two. $25 for the lot, and very generous portions. Could easily feed more than 4, as claimed. We, too, will be back. Wed May 06 13:12:27 -0700 2009 4656880 120833 Enso 10 5147595 I think the chicken I had last night was the best I've ever had. dipped in the mean green sauce...wow.
