Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

Hot City Pizzz and Subs...West 7th ST

Stopped by  The JS Bean Factory to check on their supply of Marianne's Kitchen soup mixes and pick up a delish cold press.   Our curry soup mixes are SO popular...no different here at JS Bean Factory...pick one up while they still have a couple left.

Time for lunch (JS has great tamales from LaLoma (we had them last time)---they are delish--especially the spicy ones--but we need to try a new place today because John complains when we pass it by to go to Fresh Grounds).

Goody's Pizza and Subs Marianne's KitchenHot City Pizza and Subs on W 7th.   Menu on the chalk paint wall, customers' sentiments on all the tile walls, and tables outside today.  First visit..so, start at one end of the menu...sandwiches.

Goody's Pizza and Subs Marianne's KitchenOfficially a throwback experience!!!!  Our lunch today contained shredded bag lettuce, one of the items that went to the dumpster when we took over our location and started Marianne's Kitchen.

So, a classic sub in the style of Subway...here, a big, thick hoagie roll with iceberg shreds, really thick-cut green peppers and really thin-sliced tomatoes, onions, and a decent sauce (the' Daver').  John had

Philly steak----the bread, really a grocery store hotdog bun, was very nicely toasted.  Lots of steak with many small pieces of green pepper and onion, plus melted cheese.   It must not have been very flavorful, because John did what I never see him do---he picked up a bottle of hot sauce and used it unsparingly.  

John: "What I had hoped for was the Philly Steak that Anne cranked out six days a week for seven years at Marianne's Kitchen.  Maybe I can convince Anne and Linda that Marianne's Kitchen Food Truck would be a good idea."

Nothing bad here, but nothing really good.  The pizza looked promising, but then there's that take the customer money, make the pizza, refill someone's drink, make the pizza problem. 

HotCity---if you've been at a bar or two and need to eat, this place would be perfect.
