Patty Wall has run Malcolm Yards since it opened in 2021. Her husband, John, began acquiring land in the area in 2015, as part of a vision to start a biotechnology park, which didn’t pan out. Patty worked to restore the Harris Machinery building and launch it as the food hall it is today, which has led to national recognition in the field.

New York Times

A great overview of what’s happening outside Minnesota. I love reading the opinion pieces, followed by attempting to get at least four words in the daily Spelling Bee.

Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara

Currently reading this. It’s full of ideas for making your guests feel seen and truly welcome.

Garage Logic with Joe Soucheray 

Soucheray and the guys beautifully articulate the insanity in the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Running a business with ludicrous policies in place makes the math very challenging. The podcast provides good therapy for my rides home.

Food hall content

I scroll Instagram for the latest and greatest F&B trends, such as @jacksdiningroom and @shaverfoodhallnyc.

Wellness

I follow trends in fitness and thermaculture, such as @superiorsaunas. People who love good food generally are into fitness as well. Mostly.
