From the Editor

WHAT HAPPENED...

To that big tall guy who looks like he can kick a ball a long way?

EDITOR

HELLO !

I am the Editor of Spotlight Media, the company that produces this fine magazine. I am an MSUM alumni. I LOVE food, music and running (which is really helpful considering I love food.) While we’re on the topic of food (which is, coincidentally, one of my favorite topics) let’s talk about food in Fargo-Moorhead.

It’s amazing that I haven’t doubled my weight after doing the research for this month’s magazine. This month we discovered 50 of some of the tastiest meals in the area. These meals ranged from lobster mac n’ cheese to peanut butter pizza. Needless to say, Fargo and Moorhead are food cities. (Afterall, we need something to do from November to April.

Eating seems like as good as anything.)

DON’T WORRY Drago is still heavily involved in this magazine, but I get the honor of taking over this editorial. Although I’ve been acting as editor of Fargo Monthly for a while, let me introduce myself.

I hope you enjoy the magazine and I hope you can put up with my ugly mug, because you’re going to be looking at it every month. Also, don’t forget to tell us if you have any recommendations, suggestions, hotdish recipes, whatever. Just email us at info@fmspotlight.com.

Later!

top 5 food moments of the month

It’s amazing that I haven’t doubled my weight after doing research for this month’s magazine.

Grilled Steak and Cheese

There’s nothing better than some good home cooking. That’s why I loved this grilled steak and cheese from CJ’s Kitchen.

2

Barbeque Glazed Bison Meatloaf

Eric Watson at Mezzaluna has done it once again with this bison meatloaf. It’s not your grandma’s meatloaf.

3

Gyro

There’s something to be said for small, ethnic restaurants. Café Aladdin is the definition of this and that’s why I love their gyro.

5

This unique combination is made better by the fact that they have more wine than you can ever know what to do with.

No, I’m not crazy.

Xtreme Pizza Kitchen’s peanut butter pizza is actually delicious.

Give it a try. You won’t regret it.

valley UPDATE

By: Liz Huwe

1

NP and 1st Ave. Switch-up

NP and 1st Avenues have functioned as oneway streets for decades. This year, it’s all going to change. Both streets will be converted to a

10 // fargomonthly.com

2+1 configuration, Gilmour said. NP will have two lanes going east, one heading west. On 1st, the setup will be mirrored.

Work to install the new “intelligent” traffic lights was scheduled to start in March. Gordon

said these signals will be specially programmed to not allow left turns from 1st or NP during morning and evening peak hours. On NP Ave., lights will also be set to not allow left turns while a train passes.

This initial phase of the project (changing the

2

Hybrids for MAT Bus

Four more buses are joining the MAT Bus fleet.

According to Gilmour, each newly-designed bus runs on a diesel-hybrid engine, is 40-feet-long and came with a price tag of $640,000. These new buses will be put to work on the most crowded routes, especially those connecting NDSU to Downtown Fargo.

3 Changes are coming to Fargo…

Are you ready? We got the inside scoop on what to expect (or possibly dread) through our delightful construction and improvement season from Jim Gilmour, Fargo Planning Director, and

Fargo’s First Panera

This fall, Panera Bread, a bakery-style cafe, will open its first North Dakota eatery near West Acres in the former Chili’s location. The Fargo Panera will feature newly designed production areas, allowing patrons to watch dough being shaped.

4

New Downtown Apartments

Want to live Downtown? Two new apartment buildings are on the way. One building, The Mark Apartments (Roberts St. and 4th Ave. N), will start leasing units in June. Construction is scheduled for another apartment complex on the south side of NP Ave., near the Plains Art Museum.

(Contact JM Rentals for Mark rental information.)

lights, paint, signs) is expected to be done by Labor Day and will cost around $400,000. In a few years, both streets will be rebuilt to better work with the new configuration. Gilmour said the street reconstruction cost will be “in the millions.”

5

University Dr. Bike Lane

This spring and summer, the city will finish the University Dr. bike lanes, further connecting NDSU to Downtown. According to Gilmour, University was wider than it needed to be, so the lanes were easy to add.

6

Mickelson Field Levee

When the Red River floods, a temporary levee usually needs to be built along a section of Oak

Street. This blocks traffic, creates headaches and leaves a big mess to be cleaned up later. The City of Fargo plans to build a permanent dike using part of Mickelson Field this year, said Gilmour, as long as a FEMA grant comes through.

7

I-94 Walking bridge

It’s hard not to notice the walking bridge straddling I-94 near the University Dr. exit. Sometime this summer the light blue overpass is going to be repainted to the Bison favorite... forest green. Some lanes on I-94 will be closed during the project.

8

Veterans Blvd. Construction

Veterans Blvd is a five-lane corridor connecting South and West Fargo, except for one section where the road narrows to two lanes. The boulevard will be closed from 32nd to 40th avenues in order to be widened and match the rest of the street. Gordon said the construction should be finished in late August.

9

Water Treatment Expansion

What does it take to upgrade a city's water treatment plant? For Fargo, it will be three years and $96 million. Gilmour said the project will treat an extra 15 million gallons per day and more efficiently purify the water while removing minerals.

10

New Sanford Hospital

Sanford is hard at work constructing their South Fargo hospital. "It will be 10 stories, and about 900,00 square feet, total... about the size of West Acres, I think," said Gilmour. These numbers are after the original plan was adjusted. Now, the clinic will stay on Broadway, and the new building will be hospital-space.

Photographs by Caitlin Abrams, Jenna Lenertz, Andrew Jason and J. Alan Paul Photography This won’t be much of a surprise to anyone: Fargo is a food town. In Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and the surrounding areas, there are over 350 restaurants. With such an abundance of options, it can be hard to decide where to eat. Even when you decide where to go, how do you know what to get? Well, that’s where we come in.

We concocted this little game to see how many of these delicious meals you’ve eaten. Let’s see if you’ve had more than some of the employees at Fargo Monthly. Good luck! (You’ll need it. We live on takeout.)

Everyone knows “Sesame Street,” “NOVA” and “Antiques Roadshow” or has listened to classics like “A Prairie Home Companion” or “Car Talk” on NPR. The hard working crew at Prairie Public brings these programs to the area. However, did you know that’s just a fraction of what they do? We toured the headquarters of Prairie Public in downtown Fargo to get the real scoop on everything they do. We think you’ll be surprised.

cooler, Kipp G was shivering while Tony the Butcher looked right at home. Well, that’s because he was. Believe it or not, Tony the Butcher is actually a butcher. His talent doesn’t end with cutting meat though. Each of Tony and Kipp’s shows turn into a party you don’t want to miss and this hip-hop duo knows how to throw a wild party. Kipp and Tony are, in a sense, heading up the rap scene in Fargo and they hope to keep on rocking for years to come.

Tony the Butcher Unapologetic Lyrics

Tony’s lyrics mean something to him. He always writes from the heart and hopes that other people might find something special in his lyrics.

“I try to get pretty deep, where I say one thing but it has two meanings. It always means something to me. I don’t just say words to say words.”

A Crazy Name

Although Tony is actually a butcher, it took him a long time (and a little help) to figure out his stage name. At first he used cheesy stage names like MC Translucent. That’s when Kipp stepped in. Whenever they were at a party together, Kipp kept introducing him as Tony the Butcher. The name stuck.

Music

Unpredictable shows Although they’ve been doing it for four years, Tony still feels like he’s learning everyday. “It’s all a big, long process… I’m still learning. It’s never ending.” And even though they have a blast on the stage, people can’t forget about the work that goes into every show. Countless hours of promotion, organizing, practicing and numerous other aspects that people would never think of. Most performers have booking agents who handle these tasks; they’re left to handle it themselves.

Kipp

The Uncommon Man

Kipp’s not your stereotypical hip-hop star. He doesn’t do any drugs and rarely drinks. This alone separates him from many of the other rappers. This can work out in Tony’s favor though. “I do like the fact that Tony does like to drink a lot because in the environment that I’m in with the shows, people are like ‘Yo! Here’s a drink for ya bro.’ I’m alley-ooping drinks to Tony.”

The unpredicted duo

Kipp and Tony joined together four years ago but Kipp has been performing for the last ten years.

Tony constantly attended his shows and he knew Kipp pretty well before teaming up with him… We’ll let Kipp tell the story of how they became partners.

“One night he was drunk at this party and he said, ‘I got this verse.’ I get kids trying to rap at me so much that my patience was thin… He gave me this rap that we perform to this day. It was this “Black Hoodie” song. I was like, ‘Damn dude, you definitely got something there.”

kipp’s demented world

For More Information Find this duo on Facebook by searching “Kipp G & Tony the Butcher.” Hear their music at soundcloud. com/kippg or soundcloud.com/tony-the-butcher.

Kipp has some wild stories to tell. Those stories are what most of his raps are based on. For example, on a way to a hip-hop show, a regular at most of their shows confessed something while drunk, “I’m probably an alcoholic because of your shows.”

That affected Kipp and he wrote a rap about the experience. There was also the story of the girl that dumped him… literally. (You’ll have to ask Kipp to tell that story though.)

Portraits of Conductors

What kind of search?

A search for their new conductor. This year marks the 82nd year of the Symphony and the search for their sixth conductor. “Searching for a new conductor is a three year process,� explained Linda Boyd, Executive Director.

The search starts out by putting together a committee, which is made up of six musicians of the orchestra and five community or board members. There were 140 applicants from conductors across the world that were narrowed down to 30, then to 11 and finally, five remain. Pending smooth sailing, the new conductor will be announced in late spring.

Here is a look at the candidates for the next conductor of the FM Symphony.

Empire BUILDING A FOOD

Dining

By Andrew Jason

Photography by J. Alan Paul Photography

It’s a challenge running a restaurant. There are the endless hours in the kitchen, constantly having to order supplies, double checking the books or doing one of a million other tasks that must be done to successfully run a restaurant. Now imagine trying to manage eight restaurants. Well, that’s exactly what Dave Scheer and Keng Dechawuth are doing. These two are the head of the Scheer Group. You may know them better as the owners of Drunken Noodle, Thai Orchid, Wasabi and four other restaurants. Here’s their story.

fargomonthly.com // 49

Go // Tasting culture

THE BEGINNING Dave Scheer is a well-travled man. He worked as an engineer for many years and spent a majority of his life traveling around different countries. One day, while he was living in Germany, he was eating at a restaurant with some friends who were traveling to Thailand the next week. Scheer decided to join them. While staying at a bed and breakfast, a woman came in from her morning run and it was love at first sight. That woman became Scheer’s wife. Fast-forward several years, and many different countries, then they found themselves in Fargo.

Once he came to Fargo, Scheer helped renovate the Theatre B building to what it had been like in 1882. In 2005, he found himself helping a friend open up Thai Orchid. That’s when Dechawuth became involved. After a few years they opened up LeeLa Thai and continued to grow.

BRINGING THAILAND TO FARGO One of the main purposes of their restaurants is to bring people experiences they might never have had. That’s why Scheer and Dechawuth are always traveling and trying to bring culture and originality to each of their restaurants. “We don’t just want to open the restaurant for the food side but we want to bring people experiences so we travel a lot and bring those experiences. We try to get people to have more culture, to learn the differences between the cultures. Our restaurants, like the uniforms, we want to express what’s the culture and why people eat this.” A majority of their restaurants are based on Thai cuisine. For example, at Thai Orchid they serve dishes like Roasted Duck Curry, Choo Chee Salmon and Crying Tiger.

CHALLENGES OF THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS There are the obvious challenges of running a restaurant: long hours, scheduling all the workers, ordering all the food, the endless hours of prep work. The list goes on and on. However, there are a lot of challenges that people may not realize. Food safety is one of the biggest challenges that they must tackle everyday. Scheer explained: “You have this responsibility. You’re serving several hundred people every day. What if we screw up? What if a knife is used that hasn’t been sanitized properly? You’ll kill people… It’s a heck of a responsibility.”

Thank You Fargo

They’re both very grateful for all that Fargo has done for them and their restaurants. Scheer has a mes sage that he wants to let the commun ity know: “Thanks. They’ve been real ly kind to us. They’ve come to our rest aurants.”

“

Whatever that you do you got to do it to please yourself. Once you please yourself, you please everyone else.

question &answer What is it about Cork’ n Cleaver that has made you stay here for 20 years?

“Well, I like the people you know, and that’s some of the things that make it necessary because not long ago I lost my daughter in Katrina, you know, down south – and during that time it was a shaky moment but the first part of it – I like the people here and that is what has made me stay.”

Where do you find your inspiration for cooking?

Yum!!!

"Well mainly it is all in my head, you know? I can come up with any type of thing that I wanna come up with, you know?"

What is your favorite meal to make and why?

“I love cooking Cajun, but I love cooking all other stuff too, you know? Just like I said I cook it with love and as I said with anything that I cook with love…

I like it all. When people like what you’re doing, they tell you and that makes you want to do it more, you know?”

In what way would you like your cooking style?

“My cooking style… I cook with love.”

Are there any mistakes that you see people making in the kitchen?

“Well really, you can make mistakes, but if you’ve been doing this as long as I have you really ain’t gonna make a mistake – if you do make a mistake, then you’ll do it over… if it comes to that.”

CHEF LENNY SAYS

"Gumbo, Red Beans n’ rice, Crawfish Etouffee, Shrimp Etouffee, Creole Jumbo, then you got Creole Shrimp... it’s a variety. If you like it spicy, make sure to ask and I will kick it up a notch!"

Is there any advice you can give those who aren’t chefs when it comes to cooking in the kitchen?

“Well if you don’t like what you’re doing then don’t do it, but you gotta choose what you like, but whatever that you do you got to do it to please yourself. Once you please yourself, you please everyone else.”

Jordan “Ninja Princess” Gaza You used to be a cheerleader. How did you go from that to being a fighter?

“Well I started with jiujitsu when I was in middle school so I always did both... When I was in high school was when I started training in MMA more and in my senior year I had three MMA fights so I was already doing both so it’s not like I went from one thing to another. Once I graduated high school, I did strictly MMA.”

How do you feel about your upcoming fight with Amber Stautzenberger?

“She’s wanted to fight me for a while and finally everything worked out right. We’re both from Texas and we both have the same amateur record and pro record… We’re both coming off a submission win. It’s kind of cool that we’re really matched up good. She has been around for a while but I don’t really know a lot about her. I know she’s a good all around fighter. I’m ready for anything… I know I can win this fight.”

Where do you think fighting will take you?

“I will be World Champion. (Laughs)”

Amber “The Apex Predator” Stautzenberger How did you get involved in fighting?

“I moved to Dallas for college and I was looking for a gym to stay in shape. I joined this one gym that had jiujitsu and kickboxing - I tried it out and I liked it!”

You and Jordan are both from Texas, do you feel any camaraderie through that connection?

“I’ve been trying to fight her for two years and either she says no or her manager says no and it has just never happened. You would think it would happen in Texas because a lot of different promotions have tried for it - I guess Chris has a way with words and he made it happen. There have been times when she doesn’t have other opponents and they have asked me to fight her and I’ve said yes and she says no.”

JEFF DUNHAM

Comedian, Jeff Dunham is coming to the Fargodome on April 28. We briefly caught up with world famous ventriliquist to talk about ventriloquism and inspiration.

Have you noticed a resurgence of ventriloquism since your act has become so popular?

“I don’t think ventriloquism, per se, is popular... I think a few folks that are good performers as ventriloquists have caused a resurgence in the acceptance of ‘vent’ as a legitimate form of entertainment, and that there are a couple of generations right now who, up until the past couple of years, had never seen a good ventriloquist.

Put it this way: If there was a plate spinner who was great and truly entertaining, plate spinning would come back too. The one thing I pride myself on, is I’m trying to put a fresh patina on an old, tired and sad art and make it hip and fun again!”

Where do you get your inspiration?

“Just living life, none of the characters have a similar genesis. Ideas come from different places. The only thing that’s similar is that when something strikes me as being a good character and one that I could really write some good material for, then that’s what I go with.”
