The Matsons of Chanhassen worked with Destiny Homes of Chanhassen to
remodel their kitchen. The challenge of their six-sided home made the remodel challenging but they love the results. A point of local
trivia--their home was once owned by Kevin Sorbo who starred in the
popular 1990s TV series "Hercules."

The following slide show includes five things you might not know about the Taste of Eden Prairie, set for 6-10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27.

The fundraiser for the Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools offers tastes from the area’s best restaurants at the Minnesota Vikings Fieldhouse Practice Facility, 9520 Viking Drive in Eden Prairie.

Mark Jundt, a business lawyer, and wife Jennifer, who’s spent years as a Starbucks manager, combined their talents to open JJ’s Coffee Company and Wine Bar in Eden Prairie four months ago.

“It was kind of a blend of our experiences,” noted Mark.

JJ’s is a blend in more ways then one. The shop, located in a tucked away corner of Lone Oak Center aims to be both a comfortable coffee shop and intimate wine bar. Its menu includes breakfast sandwiches, custom coffee drinks, baked goods and, for the wine and beer end of the spectrum, an extensive list of wines, beers, comfort-food appetizers and flat-crust pizzas.
