Looking Back: Brigitte’s Cafe

When you need a good, home cooked meal at place that welcomes you with a smile, Brigitte's Cafe is your destination. Soups are scratch-made (tomato dumpling is a Friday favorite) and the staff greets you by name. Peruse the history of successful St. Cloud restauranteur, Brigitte Olson.

It's been many things over the years, but the stately Searle Building on St. Cloud's historic 5th Avenue remains open and is as full of life today as it was in the early 20th century. Dick Nelson talks with D.B. Searle's manager Matt Novak about the building over the years and the business in it today.

Looking Back: Anton’s Restaurant [AUDIO]

I headed off to Anton’s Restaurant a few weeks ago for lunch. There I enjoyed a wonderful BBQ Rib Dinner done to perfection. And yes, I enjoyed one of Anton’s giant popovers with honey butter. Patti Gaetz from Anton’s was on the WJON Daily Dose Show recently and talked about the rich history of Anton’s.
