NATE (THE CLUBFOOT) DOCKEN

THE DUNGEON MASTER

On a dark and cold Tuesday evening, Nate removed his sword from the Iron Viscount, breathing heavily and feeling the fatigue from a long, and near fatal struggle. Wiping the blood on a nearby banner, he could feel the power emanate from the Viscount. Then suddenly a bright flash of light streaked from his iron clad chest, and into Nate's. After a brief moment, the power was absorbed and it was over, and Nate turned to his loyal army and spoke:

"I'm gonna go open a restaurant because I literally have no idea why this happened, who you guys are, or what this is." 

Emily "Nickname pending" Hagen

WE'RE WORKING ON IT, YOU CAN'T RUSH IT

Emily has many years in the restaurant industry, and is excited to be apart of our shenanigans. She's a natural jack-of-all-trades, a hard af worker, and a great friend. She may look innocent, but trust us… she’ll kick your ass if she needs to. Don’t test her, folks.

SAMANTHA (THE BRUJA) ROILAND

RESIDENT WITCH (BUT NOT THE WEIRD KIND)

Samantha learned her trade at a bunch of restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Cloud. She is the house badass of awesome street food! She's got crazy good attention to detail, unique tastes, and will likely turn you into a frog & stick you in the stew. She’s spent a lot of time learning about (and eating) Latin cuisine and it really comes through in her dishes.

Mona "Omni" Negasi

Mona has not only a long and well established career in the restaurant industry, especially in Lowertown, but is an incredible visual artist as well. She's in charge of social media, curating the art selection, designing our graphics & menus, and generally most of the artsy things in our space. Artists, give her a shout - mona@justusmn.com!

Lil' Ol' JESSE Chil'

HOBO SUPREME

Jesse's background is well-rounded, but he really loves East African cuisine, especially that of Eritrea. He started as a baker and worked his way around the kitchen for years after. He's also a rad comic book artist (ask him for his books, he'd love to sell them to you), and can throw down hard in any MTG game. You might hear us all scream "INFORMER!" because of him.

 
Hard at work! We've been a little quiet since announcing that we locked down the new location, mostly because we're knee deep in tile & tin. Just beginning to see our vision unfold! We hope to establish the new space as a community hub. You can count on a kick ass, reasonably priced & expanded menu (relax, we'll still have a few burgers 😉), and a larger focus on music, arts, & entertainment. It's a little ways out before we get there but we're so excited to share this space with all of you! Check back for progress. . #stpaulfoodie #stpauleats #stpaulmn #mpls #mplseats #mplsfoodie #mneats #mnfoodfeatures #mnfoodie #justusmn #lowertownstpaul #downtownstpaul #minnesota #foodieapolis #twincitiesfood #twincities #minnstagramers
Super special, super awesome, doubly exciting, fan-effin-tastic news!! We're so happy to announce that we've secured a new location! Before we say where, we want to thank everyone who helped make this possible. A lot of you quite literally have funded our dream to bring good, honest food and quality entertainment to the masses and we're forever grateful. We want to continue to provide a hub for arts & culture hub, a safe space for our patrons, a place that fosters creativity, and ultimately a place that truly serves the neighborhood. All of this and SO MUCH MORE will be possible in our new location. . Without further ado...... just/us phase two is coming to Lowertown! We're taking over the old Golden's Deli space, right across the street from the @stpaulfarmersmarket. We have so much love for this artist's neighborhood (some of us even live here) and cannot wait to be a part of it's future. . We have a lot of work to do before we're ready to open our doors so stay tuned for updates regarding our soft open, our donor VIP party, and more! . Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love you, St. Paul!!! . #stpaulfoodie #stpauleats #stpaulmn #mpls #mplseats #mplsfoodie #mneats #mnfoodfeatures #mnfoodie #justusmn #lowertownstpaul #downtownstpaul #minnesota #foodieapolis #twincitiesfood #twincities #minnstagramers
UPDATE: Thanks for being patient with us while we've searched for a new location! We're happy to report that we've narrowed our search down to one potential space!!!! Call it superstitious, but we've decided not to say where until all logistics are worked out. If all goes as planned, we hope to be back with a very exciting announcement within the week. Stay tuned!! . In the meantime, we're pushing our GoFundMe campaign one final time. We are so close to hitting our goal, help us get there! Your donations will keep us on track to reopen as soon as possible. . GoFundMe.com/just-us-restaurant . To those of you who have donated already, you have no idea how helpful your contributions have been during this time. Thank you for keeping your money in the community - without you there would not be an /us. .
