Broiled Octopus (Minneapolis, MN), August 23, 2020
It's time to quote the late Heather O'Rourke who famously said, "They're baaaaaack!" Formerly It's Greek to Me, the new It's Greek to Me Taverna e Parea opened its doors this summer after selling off the restaurant in 2016. After being dormant since September 2019, the restaurant has re-opened as a partnership with the original co-owner, Alkis Arambadjis, his nephew (who will keep this gem in the family) and a long-time IGTM employee. Arambadjis came to the United States from Salonika, Greece in 1982, and Minneapolis is all the better for it, as evidenced by this lovely char-broiled octopus with red peppers (Angus asked for no green peppers) and topped off with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and fresh thyme. Καλή όρεξη! (It's Greek to Me Taverna e Parea, Minneapolis, MN)
