Camacho watching the Twin Cities

Twin Cities, meet Katie Cannon. She's the blogger behind Camacho Watcho, a foodie and an up-and-coming Twin Cities photographer.

Katie has partnered up with Twin Cites Metromix to write restaurants reviews, stop in on some great local entertainment and generally share the best of what the Twin Cities has to offer.

If you have a place in mind that you think would be a good fit for Katie, let us know. Love what she has to say? Tell us in the comments. Don't agree with Katie's take on a restaurant? Chime in with your own review (simply click on the "write a review" link at the top of every venue).

Now about that title—why the name Camacho Watcho? Camacho is Katie's maiden name and including it in her blog name illustrates how her point of view draws from her background, experiences and her family. In her own words, "I'm a Camacho at heart and my family is with me in everything I do."

Check back semi-weekly for a new posting from Katie, or catch up below on some of the places she's been.
