Kebab's Kickstarter Launch, Shroom Hunting, & More

MARIGNY— Kebab is aiming to raise the last 10% of funds needed to stock shelves, pay for inspections, and bring doner madness to St. Claude via a new Kickstarter campaign. A $100 pledge gets you dinner for two at their upcoming fine dining pop up Margaret's, which is a pretty good deal. Donate here. [Eaterwire]
