Meet Fargo

Tell us a bit about yourself! I was born and raised in Fargo and earned my BFA degree in film with an art minor at Minnesota State University Moorhead.

Mhairi Christopherson, Director of Agency Wasabi I love Wasabi's sushi. I am a big sushi lover, and they have the best in town, in my opinion! They're super convenient; I love the location, they're always super friendly, and the sushi is so good. I always get the broken heart roll and the spicy cali rolls, and of course, edamame. wasabipokebowl.com | Facebook | Instagram Ty Betts, Editorial Graphic Designer Taj India I love Indian food, especially curry, and Taj India does it amazingly.

At the Comstock House, one of Sam Wai's dinners can begin with a count of 16 guests, seven wineglasses at each setting, 10 pieces of silverware, and seven courses inspired by the final first-class dinner aboard the Titanic. Guests may arrive in Edwardian dress. Wai may greet them in a dark, naval-style coat.
