Good news for suburban eaters: Chef Thomas Boemer has been named the culinary director for The Wondrous Collective restaurant group.
The group owns more than a dozen restaurants in the Twin Cities area, from Mean Miners street tacos in Eagan and Apple Valley to Minnesota Burger Company in Apple Valley and Farmtown Brew Hall in Farmington.
Boemer, a James Beard Award nominee who was co-owner of Revival, Corner Table and In Bloom, all closed now, is known for his takes on southern cuisine and smoked and wood-fired meats.
The Wondrous Collective owner Tony Donatell announced Boemer’s hire in a news release, which read in part:
“We’ve developed a reputation for bold, boundary-pushing cocktail programs and a talent for building spaces that feel like a celebration of everyday life. But we’ve always known there was more we could do with the food. Today, I’m proud to share that we’ve found the missing piece.”
Boemer has already begun tweaking the menu at The Farmer’s Cellar, a Lakeville cocktail bar, and has just unveiled a full menu refresh at Revolve Hall in Apple Valley. Within that food hall, Boemer has debuted his first new concept for the restaurant group: The Wanderer: Adventure-Inspired Provisions. It’s described as “a fast-casual kitchen built on live-fire, flavor and a love for the road less traveled.”
