A little about Foodie Fun and More

I am a self-professed foodie at heart, love to eat out whenever I have the opportunity! I have recently relocated to Northern Minnesota from the Seattle area and will be reviewing restaurants and recipes I get the opportunity to try on my adventures in the Midwest and beyond.

I have no culinary training and most will say that I am a very picky eater. I'm not a fan of vegetables, love my sushi, adore a wonderful filet mignon and snow crab is to die for - although that may be hard to come by here in the North Woods. As my adventure continues, you'll see my palate ranges from comfort foods to gourmet and I will let you know how the service was, how the food was and if the prices were spendy or reasonable. I am a foodie who has no qualms about paying more for a good meal ... for a good meal that is... not a mediocre one. I am happy to share information on your restaurant here if you desire me to or if you want me to try your restaurant and I have not yet.

I prefer smaller restaurants that are 'undiscovered' and if they resemble something I would have seen in Seattle, all the better. But for me, it's the service that makes the meal sometimes... or breaks it.

So follow me on my adventures in dining in Northern Minnesota and beyond.

Red Lobster - Silverdale

A special thanks to my server today, Joanna, who gave excellent service - give credit where credit is due and to the manager who made a point to come to our table to see how our meal was when we were finished eating. It is the little touches that make or break the service of a meal.

I usually order my standby and thought in a 'fish place' surely I would be able to simply order 'fish and chips', be it cod, halibut or sole or something similar. However, the only way I would be able to have a deep fried breaded fish with fries would be to have a combination plate with two choices or two orders of fish and was told that the fish orders were quite large. I found this to be disappointing for a lunch menu - it seems there should be a smaller portion but I digress.

I reverted to my 'old standby' and favorite of snow crab legs. A starter of clam chowder, quite delicious I might add and baked potato with my crab legs. I have only good things to say about my lunch, including the cheesecake for dessert.

I will return, the service was excellent, food was good and nothing whatsoever to complain about (except the absence of the breaded fish and fries).

Until next time....
