How would you feel if you went inside a restaurant, only to find ANOTHER one nestled inside? Em Cassel, co-owner and editor of Racket, did exactly that at French Hen and found great pizza. Em also tells Sean McPherson and producer Tiffany Bui why “just finding a house” isn’t a silver bullet to the homelessness crisis. Plus, we’re side-eyeing a Rattiest City ranking, which puts Minneapolis at number nine.
