Hyping up women-owned businesses for no reason whatsoever Wednesday on the Rick Solem Show. 

We were joined in studio by Abram Dyke of Abe’s Raves. Our local foodie helped track down a bunch of awesome local businesses that we got on the show, including:
Sam Sveum, who owns Nom Sips & Eats
Mia Davis of the Mia’s Kitchen food truck
Maria Norberg, owner of Grounded Coffee
Ka Lia Vang of Ka Lia’s Kitchen
Megan Larson owner of Vintage Kitchen

We opened the show talking a bit about Abe’s Raves — some of the fun stuff he’s doing on that page and how we need to do the area’s best coffee next. 

Also, before he had to leave, we ended the show mentioning that Dyke won a huge award for his work as a nurse recently. 

Now, we weren’t able to, of course, get all the women-owned food and coffee joints in the area on. So, feel free to go to this post on Facebook and add your favorites to the comments.
