Daniel del Prado, the perpetual chef in motion, has found his next restaurant project. Dexter’s will open at 3717 W. 50th St. in Minneapolis with an elevated bar experience that is sure to impress.
This fresh partnership is a part of the DDP Restaurant Group’s commitment to partner with emerging hospitality talent. Carla and Spencer Jones, who are behind the venture, met when she was a server at Martina, Daniel’s first restaurant.
Dexter’s will have a “casual yet refined” vibe that aims to attract neighborhood folks, sports fans and discerning diners alike. The menu will feature dishes like burgers, BLTs, onion rings, shrimp cocktail and dry-rub chicken wings. There will also be more upscale casual foods like potato waffles with caviar and crème fraîche, and a beef tongue pastrami Reuben sandwich. The beverages will be created by Megan Luedtke, who oversees the bar program at other DDP properties such as Blondette, Colita, Martina and Macanda.
Work has already begun to transform the former Agra Culture into Dexter’s named for the Jones’ French bulldog.

Daniel del Prado first emerged as a talented chef to watch while he was leading the kitchen at Isaac Becker’s now-shuttered Burch Steak. He opened Martina in 2017 with a mix of Italian and Argentine cuisine followed by Colita in 2018 in Armatage neighborhood with smoked meats and Mexican fare
