“….the café represents what might be the start of a minor trend in Minneapolis: formally trained chefs and cooks taking on small, classic diners, making them their own and churning out delicious diner food.”

“The Colossal Café occupies a teeny, tiny space in the physical universe, but a huge place in the culinary universe.  Look for take out items for dinner in the case at the counter – if there is a chicken pot pie, you must purchase one to take home, or your life will not be complete.”
