The Twin Cities punches above its weight when it comes to breakfast. In fact, host Sean McPherson will argue any day that we do breakfast better than anywhere else. With so many great spots to choose from, Sean is joined by celebrated food critic and our newest City Cast contributor, Kirstie Kimball, as well as contributor Hans Buetow, to highlight the best of the best. Later, executive director of the Sex Workers Outreach Project, Andi Snow, joins the conversation to discuss the state of sex work in the Twin Cities, how labor organizing works for sex workers, and how our cities' sex workers responded to Operation Metro Surge.
