Ten Great Takeout Spots in the Twin Cities →

Thanks to CityPages for pulling together a great listing of the best local take out.  My personal favorite lunch takeout is at Nelson’s Cheese and Deli.  Their flagship sandwhich: the Cheesemaker is large enough to be lunch for two.  After waiting in line, grab a sandwich and head to Como Park for a great lunchtime picnic.

Talor Mali on Def Poetry Jam.  He reminds me how much I love Slam Poetry.
