The Latest on Lake:

• Last week, local foodie site Heavy Table took a bite of the Manny's Tortas Pork Loin. "In addition to its warm roll and thin, crisp pork loin, this sandwich showcases a multitude of layers — lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, onion, jalapenos, beans, and chipotle pepper mayo — pressed together in each tasty bite."
  
  
• City Pages reviews their picks for top 5 spring salads, and both Barbette and Il Gatto make the list. Barbette's Nicoise salad and Il Gatto's insalata rucola both get the thumbs up.
  
  
  
• Also in City Pages, they call Herkimer's happy hour "the perfect go-to happy hour when you cannot decide where to go. The appetizer menu is extensive and drink choices are so inviting. The fact that this is a brew pub is good attraction as the selections are always changing. Sitting on the sidewalk after work, sunglasses on, table full of beverages and snacks = win." And they meet local singer-songwriter Jeremy Messersmith in one of his favorite places to write songs, the Midtown Global market.
  
  
  
• And Jungle Theater's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? keeps piling on the good press. This past week, the Star Tribune profiled the two veteran actors who play George and Martha.
