[image-1]The past year was a big one for area diners, loaded with splashy restaurant openings like Mabel’s BBQ, Salt, Ushabu, 811, The Plum, Sarita, Bold, Vita Urbana, Hansa Brewery, Nuevo Modern Mexican, Proper Pig, Goldhorn Brewery, Parker’s Downtown and The Burnham, to name just a few.

But the coming year is shaping up to be just as action-packed, as Scene Dining Editor Doug Trattner discusses with Dan Polleta for “Here and Now featuring The Sound of Applause.”

The interview will air tomorrow at 12:33 p.m. (part one) and 1:40 p.m. (part two) on WCPN, but why wait? Here’s the link to the complete interview.

Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.
