The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

My apologies for the short notice, but I just got a tip this morning about a new Szechuan / Mandarin restaurant, Tian Jin in Chanhassen. .Reader Dave B. says, "I have been a regular at Teahouse and Little Szechuan for years and prefer Tian Jin over them. The menu is expansive and authentic. Their head chef is a master chef trained with over 20 years experience. This gem of a  restaurant needs a voice." 

Carol is out of town and I don't have other plans, so I'd like to go tonight and check it out. (I know, the Oscars are tonight, but I figure if we meet at 6:30, we can be back in time to catch most of the really important awards.) At any rate, if you want to join me, please send me an email (jeremyiggers@gmail.com)  by, say, 4:30 this afternoon. We'll order a bunch of dishes to share, and split the bill, except for the beer (assuming they have beer) - everybody pays their own.

Here are the deets: Tian Jin, 463 W. 79th St., Chanhassen, 952-934-4111.
