The Turntable: August 2010

http://themikenorthturntable.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

A starting point for discussion on beverages. For the last four years, I've often heard proprietors of food and drink in St. Louis complain about the customer base lacking the sophistication to appreciate their products and services. This is an easy bandwagon to join, and I'll admit that I've been on it a number of times. I've had my fair share of experiences when frustration got the best of me (Soulard Farmer's Market coffee stand, anyone? Isn't this just an excuse? To break it down˚:. So, the rate at w...

The Turntable: August 2008

http://themikenorthturntable.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

A starting point for discussion on beverages. Cafés to dig - Chicago and KC. Just back from recent trips to Chicago and KC for business and ple. Asure I'm a coffee fan by trade and taste. Here's a quick list of cafés to hit while in either town. The South Loop (on Jackson) location is my favorite. Great coffee and aesthetic. A great little bakery near Wicker Park. Great barista and patio, too! On the far north side. Great coffee and the coolest café in town if you've got time. The best spro in the midwest.

The Turntable: USBC 2008 - Coffee or Die

http://themikenorthturntable.blogspot.com/2008/05/usbc-2008-coffee-or-die.html

A starting point for discussion on beverages. USBC 2008 - Coffee or Die. Just got back from a week-long trip to Minneapolis for the 2008 World Barista Championship. As many know, I make/sell/deliver/educate-others-about coffee for a living. This was my first USBC and I didn't know what to expect in terms of success or atmosphere going in.

The Turntable: October 2007

http://themikenorthturntable.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

A starting point for discussion on beverages. Musical Language (by Radio Lab). I'm not sure if anyone in the Midwest is listening yet, but WNYC (New York Public Radio) has been airing a show called Radio Lab. For the last couple of years. It's a marriage of science and journalism for the aspiring-hipster geek. The young liberal's best friend, Ira Glass, aired a one of their stories on This American Life.

Now, keep it closed! Keep it closed!: Two Things Irritated me on Sunday Morning

http://keepitclosed.blogspot.com/2008/08/two-things-irritated-me-on-sunday.html

Now, keep it closed! I have lots of funny things that happen to me. I wish to share these stories with people, but I do not wish to copy/paste these in AIM. So I made this blog. Its title is not really a title, but rather, the most frequently yelled command to young patients by my orthodontist grandfather. Sunday, August 10, 2008. Two Things Irritated me on Sunday Morning.
