Travail

After raising a quarter-million dollars on Kickstarter—the Travail Sexy Chef Calendar incentive must have really done the trick—the Robbinsdale restaurateurs built a brand-new Travail just down the street, doubling the original’s size and adding a craft-cocktail lounge called The Rookery. Molecular gastronomy and beer-chugging contests are back!
