St. Paul, MN – Smashburger Review
Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse stopped into a Smashburger in St. Paul. They were impressed with the quality and service.

Portland, OR – Silk Vietnamese Bar Review
We had been to an event sponsored by Klout, a couple hours whereby Chevrolet was shoveling food and drinks at us to talk about their hybrid “Volt.” The event was held in the Pearl neighborhood, at a venue called Urban Studio.

There’s no Dave & Busters in Portland. Not sure that’s a drawback, as D&B isn’t exactly family-centric.
