Chef Daniel del Prado, a perpetual entrepreneur in the culinary world, has announced his latest venture called Dexter’s. Located at 3717 W. 50th St. in Minneapolis, this new restaurant aims to provide an elevated bar experience for all customers.
Del Prado has partnered with Carla and Spencer Jones for this project, having met Carla when she worked at his previous restaurant, Martina in Linden Hills. This collaboration is part of the DDP Restaurant Group’s commitment to working with emerging talent in the hospitality industry.
The atmosphere at Dexter’s is “casual yet refined,” and the menu will feature a variety of options to attract customers from all walks of life, including neighborhood residents, sports fans, and food enthusiasts. The menu will include dishes like burgers, BLTs, onion rings, shrimp cocktail, and dry-rub chicken wings. There will also be more upscale casual options such as potato waffles with caviar and crème fraîche and a beef tongue pastrami Reuben sandwich.
Megan Luedtke will oversee the beverage program at Dexter’s and curate a selection that complements the food menu perfectly. Renovations are already underway at the former Agra Culture space to transform it into Dexter’s, named after the Jones’ French bulldog.
Del Prado gained recognition as a talented chef during his time at Burch Steak and later opened Martina in 2017 before launching Colita in 2018. He has since become a prolific restaurateur in the Twin Cities, collaborating with various teams to open multiple establishments including Josefina, Macanda, Cafe Ceres, Cardamom, Rosalia Pizzeria, Blondette Layline Flora Room Porzana.
