Justin Sutherland’s Big E egg sandwich spot to move into Grand Pizzeria space

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:45:30 GMT

We now know what will take the place of Grand Pizzeria, next to Grand Ole Creamery on Grand Avenue.Chef Justin Sutherland’s egg sandwich shop, Big E, is set to open April 24. The first location of the shop is in Portland, Ore., but the intention was always to expand. Sutherland lives in St. Paul and his first restaurant, Handsome Hog, is located in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood.“The intention is to open next in Minneapolis, and then into surrounding suburbs, and infinity and beyond,” Sutherland said.The chef, who is doing well after a summer boating accident and multiple subsequent surgeries, said the restaurant will be open for all three daily meals.“It’s not a breakfast place,” Sutherland said. “We don’t want to be pigeonholed into breakfast. It’s a celebration of the egg, but not a breakfast place per se.”Sutherland is a travel junkie who jets around the globe for work and pleasure and the menu reflects that.Big E sandwiches have musical names — this one comes from a Flam...

Recipe: Cinnamon shortbread with chocolate hazelnut drizzle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:45:30 GMT

This cookie recipe combines the satisfyingly crumbly texture of a classic shortbread with all three of my favorite gelato flavors — cinnamon, hazelnut and chocolate. Who says you can’t have it all? This cookie is the perfect pairing for that afternoon coffee or steamed chai latte. And the secret to the shortbread’s crunchy texture is — you’ll never guess — Cream of Wheat.The Cream of Wheat adds a lovely crunch to the dough, but you can substitute cornmeal or cornstarch for a similar crumbly texture. Not a fan of hazelnuts? Try toasted almonds or walnuts instead.Cinnamon Shortbread with Chocolate Hazelnut DrizzleMakes 12 to 14 cookiesINGREDIENTS2/3 cup whole hazelnuts1¾ cups flour½ cup Cream of Wheat (uncooked)½ cup granulated sugar½ teaspoon cinnamon1 cup butter, room temperature½ cup chopped semisweet chocolateSea saltDIRECTIONSHeat oven to 300 degrees.When the oven is hot, place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake them for 5 to 8 minutes or until fragrant.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, every task that could adapt to a remote activity did—fitness classes, happy hours, even doctor's visits—and, crucially, the workday.But plenty stayed in-person, partly depending on the task or job. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in October 2020 found that 71% of people who could do their jobs remotely were working remotely. Still, lower-income workers were less likely to be doing so, regardless of what their job duties were.Geography mattered, too: Cities were more likely to have remote-friendly jobs, according to an OECD analysis, but many rural areas sought to attract workers who could now work from anywhere.The shift to remote work didn't completely end once offices reopened for in-person work: According to another survey from Pew Research Center, 59% of respondents were still working remotely in 2022.ClickUp used Census Bureau data from the 2021 American Community Survey to rank the counties in Missouri with the largest pe...
