City Pages blogger Monica Wright caught up with author Kevin Kling for the paper’s “Celebrity Eats” feature. Kevin makes a “mean gumbo” but also appreciates Minnesota-grown foods like sweet corn and heirloom tomatoes. While on the road, he’s a fan of the “blue-plate special.” Read the post to find out more about his favorite outstate dining establishments. He sure does savor more grub than the TV dinner pictured on the cover of his newest book, Kevin Kling’s Holiday Inn!

Experience Kevin’s unique storytelling charm at his upcoming Club Book events, August 18 at the Stillwater Library and August 26 at the Maplewood Library.
