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.

Taprock Grill - Poulsbo

I was fortunate to visit the Taprock Grill in Poulsbo earlier this week.

Greeted very quickly by friendly hosting staff, I waited at my table to be met by the rest of my party as I had told the host I would be joined by others. As it turned out, this was not observed and led to a delay in service. Service in general was quite slow considering the number of patrons in the restaurant in this diner's opinion giving us the feeling we had been neglected.

Once orders were taken, things seemed to progress at a reasonable pace however.

Taprock seems to specialize in northwest fare and I chose the Base Camp Burger - quite standard as far as burgers go but large in size and served with choices of sides although I opted for fries. One of the juiciest burgers I've had by far and definitely will go back again.

I am anxious to try Taprock's breakfast menu as it is quite extensive with northwest fare.
