I got a hot tip recently - a sighting of a pasta making machine at Italiani's Family Restaurant Grill & Bar, 3508 E. Lake Street. That's pretty rare these days - making pasta by hand is very labor intensive.
The Twin Cities' gastronomic bio-diversity seems to be concentrated in three main hot zones: Eat Street (Nicollet Ave.), with its mix of Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and German eateries; Central Avenue in northeast Minneapolis, where the blend is Indian, Mexican, Ecuadorian, and Middle Eastern; and University Avenue in Saint Paul, where Vietnamese, Chinese, Cambodian, and Thai restaurants predominate.
