Get ready! Friday you’ll get your free DeRusha Download from me via Substack for the first time! That will always be free. But if you become a paid subscriber you’ll get exclusive content from me that I hope you’ll enjoy! I’m still writing at mnmo.com/jason - always free - keep reading! But for newsletter fans / email / substack fans, this will be an addition to that! Thanks!

I try not to come into a brand new restaurant right away, it’s not really fair to the restaurant to have a critic share positives and negatives in week one. And my editors at Minnesota Monthly are doing their own review of Vinai for the next print publication, so I look forward to reading that.

You as a member of the general public certainly have a right to share your thoughts from day one - they’re charging you 100% of the bill, after all. That said, I made a reservation for Chef Yia Vang’s Vinai (pronounced VEE-nye) on Tuesday, August 13th. 2 weeks after the opening date. So what did I think? You’ll get some thoughts in my FREE Newsletter on Friday. But paid subscribers get more details first! So thanks for subscribing!
