Spitz, Minneapolis

After Bryce Rademan returned from studying abroad in Europe, he knew he had to bring back the Mediterranean street food that he fell in love with. Thus came Spitz, a restaurant that combines the flavorful "spit" style of rotating meat with the freshness of local ingredients. Some of its choice dishes have the grilled meat wrapped with french fries, or served with garlic aioli and fried wheat chips. Its popular "Street Cart Fries" also dazzle with garlic aioli, feta cheese, and pepperoncinis toppings. These dishes are all hearty, but they go down easy when paired with Spitz's house-made sangria and local craft beers.
