Virg is in Florida and he couldn't make tonight's Birthday Burgers at the Lion's Tap in Eden Prairie, so it seemed like the perfect time to present his girlfriend, Kim, with an early Christmas present.
It was a big hit. The photo was taken at a party around 1977, got filed away in a photo box, and will now reappear in various settings, we're sure. Kim flew in from a weekend in Chicago early this morning, went to work and then drove directly to The Tap, where she was met and grilled by Stan, Kathleen and Sosie.
Solveig got a hankering for a Lion's Tap burger a week ago while flying here on Sun Country. She had ordered a burger with "Lion's Tap Seasoning" from the airline menu. . . but the guy in front of her took the last one on the plane.Solveig finally got her Lion's Tap cheeseburger with mushrooms and grilled onions tonight, followed by a serving of petit fours from Lund's that had been carried to the table on this rainy night inside Kathleen's purse.
