DeRusha Eats: Charlie Awards Honor Local Foodies

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – This weekend marks the biggest awards event for the local food scene, and DeRusha Eats takes you to the Charlie Awards.

It's an event for foodies that honors the best chef and restauranteur in the Twin Cities and also the best dishes in certain neighborhoods. Jason DeRusha eats Charlie's potato salad and shows us some of the 10 finalists.

It's a diverse group of local chefs and restaurants. It features a variety of foods and even a few drinks, but it brings people together with one common thread: A love to eat. The Charlie Awards started in 2010 and were named after Charlie's Café, one of the most talked about restaurants in Minneapolis for 50 years.
