Local Effort specializes in personal and event cooking, with an emphasis on local ingredients. We provide plated, coursed meals akin to a restaurant experience, more casual family-style meals, and appetizer-focused cocktail party service, all with the same ingredient-obsessed quality.

We have been offering award winning Thai Cuisine since 1983. As the first Thai restaurant in the state, we have been the pioneering force in Thai food creation in Minnesota. We provide full service catering and bar services in the greater Twin Cities area, travelling up to 2 hours in distance. We have private party spaces in our restaurants ideal for rehearsal dinners or micro weddings. We also have a sister event venue called Abrazar. That space holds up to 185 guests.

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region since 1982. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.
