Cafe Brenda closing - MSP

It's not my favorite restaurant or even my favorite Brenda Langton restaurant - I prefer Spoonriver - but it definitely has a place in the Twin Cities' dining history.... Acccording to Heavy Table, Cafe Brenda's closing on December 5. (http://heavytable.com/cafe-brenda-clo...)

    1. Brenda has said that Spoonriver is taking her main focus now so she is choosing to close Cafe Brenda.
