Uptown restaurant Chino Latino closes after 20 years Chino Latino, the global street-food restaurant near the corner of Lake and Hennepin for 20 years, closed Sunday. "The decline was in place three to four years ago," said Phil Roberts, co-founder of Parasole Restaurant Holdings in Edina, which owns and operates Manny's Steakhouse, Pittsburgh Blue, Field Day, Good Earth and Burger Jones. "It began gradually and then COVID and the protests and rioting hit." Parasole believes the concept remains strong, and that it could be transported to another neighborhood. No specifics were given, but Roberts said, "It will live again." About 40 employees are affected by the closing. Some will be transferred to other Parasole restaurants. Roberts got the idea for the restaurant when he and his wife traveled to Thailand in 1998 and observed vendors setting up shop on the street after sundown selling chicken feet, octopus, eel and cotton candy on little plates.

Vikings to add DE Jordan Brailford to active roster, DE Eddie Yarbrough to practice squad Oklahoma State defensive lineman Jordan Brailford runs the 40-yard dash during the NFL football scouting combine, Sunday, March 3, 2019, in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings) The Vikings are planning to make moves this week on a pair of defensive ends. Minnesota picked up Jordan Brailford off Washington’s practice squad, and plan to sign him to the 53-man roster. A source said he arrived in the Twin Cities on Monday for two days of coronavirus testing. If everything checks out, he will be signed, and the Vikings would need to make a roster move to create a spot for him. Brailford would add depth to the defensive line after the Vikings on Saturday waived defensive end Eddie Yarbrough to clear a spot for safety George Iloka, who was signed off the practice squad. Yarbrough cleared waivers Monday, and a source said he will join Minnesota’s practice squad. Jordan Brailford, 2020 photo, Washingto
