THE PATH TO
MINNE'S DINER
MSP
MINNEAPOLIS
GRC
GREECE
rowing up in a small & poor farming village a short
G
distance from the Mediterranean Sea in Southern
Greece, Andy Atsidakos always dreamed of a better life.
He arrived in America in the summer of 1966 with only
$7 in his pocket. His first job was working for his Uncle’s
restaurant in Downtown Minneapolis. Andy started at the
bottom, cleaning pots & pans & working very hard for little
pay. After 6 months, he received a promotion & became the
Baker. As the Baker, he worked 60-70 hours a week for a
$40 weekly paycheck. Andy understood that he was
working long hours for little money, but he was always
thankful for the opportunity to live the
American Dream.
After establishing the Crystal Steakhouse, Andy went back
to Greece to visit his family. Little did he know it would be
on this trip that Andy would meet his future wife, Libby.
The two were married via arranged marriage by Andy &
Libby’s parents. They both returned to the United States &
formed an excellent partnership in life. Libby was always
supportive of Andy’s hard work ethic & very understanding
of the long hours that restaurants require.
In 1983, after owning & operating the Foolish Steer
Restaurant in Spring Lake Park, Andy started a new
chapter in his life. Andy purchased the original restaurant
in Downtown Minneapolis that brought him to America so
many years earlier.
In 2003 Andy sold the restaurant and retired. This
retirement lasted five years before Andy, with a little
coaxing from wife Libby, had the urge to open another
restaurant. In 2008 Andy & Libby in conjunction with their
grown children George and Joanne would open Cottage
Grill in Rogers. The focus would be the same high quality
homemade food, & gourmet home-style cooking that
Andy & Libby spent a lifetime creating.
During that same year The Original Minneapple Pie was
created. Inspired by their father Andy’s baking, George had
the idea to make individual apple pies and deep-fry them.
Andy and Libby were skeptical, but one day Joanne made
one of these new creations and it turned out delicious! After
9 months of modifying the recipe Libby perfected the pie
crust. The Original Minneapple Pie was born!
During the summer of 2009 they began taking the pies to
fairs and festivals. In 2011 The Original
Minneapple Pie began to sell at Target Field with the
Minnesota Twins! In April of 2011 Cottage Grill was
reopened as Minne’s Diner.
