Would you

eat a steak torta to create jobs? Or munch on a falafel to fund coaching for a

would-be entrepreneur? Would

you sink your teeth into a camel burger to revitalize a challenged urban

corridor?  This week the Savory Road

leads to the Mid Town Global market in Minneapolis, where part of a renovated

Sears distribution center has been transformed into an exciting international

market. Hear more about this innovative redevelopment effort on Weekend Edition

Sunday 7:35 and 9:35 AM on 91-9 KVCR in southern California (IE) or live at http://kvcrnews.org/.

Jeff and Donna summarize their whirlwind 4-day trip to Minneapolis for TBEX - a travel bloggers conference. While there, they soared over the US at the Mall of America, rode Segways through green pathways along the Mississippi river, and enjoyed purple martinis at Prince's old haunt -  The First Avenue. Join them for this informal and informative conversation.

This

week the Savory Road leads to Copenhagaen – well, sort of – via Montrose

anyway. There we found locally sourced, hand made ice cream and Sorbet. Albert Thomas

of Paradis Ice Cream shares the ins and outs of his sweet craft on the next Savory

Road - listen during Weekend Edition Sunday at 7:35 and 9:35AM on 91-9

KVCR - NPR in southern California.

Scandinavian skill meets the breadbasket of the American west. Paradis is a Danish outfit that is making great strides here in California. Albert Thomas explains the craft of making small-batch ice cream.

Dane and Founder of Paradis Ice Cream shares his passion for ice cream and explains the challenges of bringing a successful Danish operation to California.

Lima is becoming the gastronomical capital of South America, and food enthusiasts across the globe are traveling there to find a coffee culture is relatively new. In this segment, Jeff interviews a local Italian immigrant and coffee lover along with a local barista to get insight on Peruvian coffee.

Francesco brought his Italian background to a Savory Road interview about the growing coffee culture in Peru. He had such interesting insight and many things to share - much more than three minutes - so we posted his entire interview. We hope you enjoy this un-edited material. He and wife Carmen live at and operate the Casa Nuestra Bed and Breakfast in the Barranco district of Lima, Peru. They have a young son Leo and a fascinating Peruvian hairless dog (Orchid).

Another Air BB success! Local and charming. We tried some great food places - Thai, French Bakery, Americana Breakfast, and we got into the best Italian restaurant in the area! We do this podcast from the beach and it will sound like it. Join us.
