Flavor | Top Minnesota Restaurant Photographer
/This past week Buffalo Media Group was invited up to Grand View Lodge to showcase their new restaurant Northern Soul Smokehouse run by none other than the amazing Top Chef Justin Sutherland!
Justin Sutherland, the Minnesota chef known nationally for competing on Top Chef and winning Iron Chef America, is opening a restaurant at Grand View Lodge Spa and Golf Resort in Nisswa, Minn., about 150 miles northwest of St. Paul, where he is based.
Northern Soul Smokehouse, which he will be opening with the property’s executive chef, Bill Coyle, will feature Sutherland’s barbecue dishes as well as a high-end bourbon list.
Sutherland already operates a number of restaurants in the Twin Cities area, including Handsome Hog and Noyes and Cutler in St. Paul and Northern Soul the Restaurant in Minneapolis. He also has two Big E egg sandwich shops, one in St. Paul and one in Portland, Ore.
The new restaurant will be based on Sutherland’s 2022 cookbook, Northern Soul, and will feature northern influenced Southern cooking including smoked brisket with bourbon barbecues sauce and house-made pickles, a Carolina pulled pork sandwich, an oyster po boy, and chicken fried ribs.
