A Korean street food favorite featuring chewy rice cakes in a spicy-sweet chili sauce. Bold, comforting, and just the right amount of heat.

Bulgogi Kimbap (불고기 김밥)

Hold my beer...K&B Grill Cheese is Here!

The Duluth News Tribune said it best - "This truck, the shape and color of a cut of sharp cheddar, takes the comfort food classic and swaps out Wonder Bread in favor of a homemade loaf. Kevin White, who owns the truck with his partner Breanna Emond, estimates that he makes 40-50 loaves of Italian bread per week.

The menu changes occasionally, and sandwiches range from traditional-ish (four cheese grilled cheese), to traditional-ish with protein, (buffalo chicken grilled cheese), to the ultimate in nuevo grilled cheese flavors (spinach artichoke)."

Were so excited!!!

Justine Fosle is local musician who was born and raised in Duluth. Her original music primarily features songs about embracing nature in everyday life. She also is fond of covering some of her favorite tunes as well. She enjoys playing with multiple artists in town, with her twin brother Joe joining in for this show among other amazing artists.

This is From Spencer’s debut as a band, woooooohoooo! This project started with original songs from Kara Warren (vocals/guitar) and takes full form with drummer Neil Vaidyanathan, bassist/vocalist Ned Netzel, and lead guitarist Marshall Dillon. The band’s original music comes begrudgingly from depths of the heart, blending indie, folk, and emo genres into midwest bootgaze. Get your shit-kickers out, whatever they may be, because we’re getting to work, crawling through the dirt, opening old wounds, all while smiling through it all. 🙂
