Passanisi discovered a love for avocados on a trip to Brazil as a teenager two decades ago, and decided on his return home to experiment with growing them in Sicily.

The NE Pup Burger at Duke’s on 7

We had barely stepped onto the expansive Minnetonka patio with our dog, Stella, and we were smitten (the large jar of dog biscuits was a good sign). Turns out we aren’t alone. Duke’s, part of the locally owned Craft & Crew group of restaurants, has been open just a few weeks and is already seeing brisk business.
