Minneapolis is evolving. The weather may be frigid, but it's a welcoming and inclusive environment in which creativity and diversity are valued. In this episode, we'll explore the melding of Nordic, Somali and indigenous flavors to enrich the city's culinary scene.We’ll sit with artists, activists and chefs as Alex Roberts from Restaurant Alma creates a hearty and unexpected dish featuring local ingredients. We learn how the city is culturally evolving and what role these artists play in that evolution everyday.
