Eating Our Way Through Door County

We had been told the food in Door County was off the charts, so with Melinda's help, we targeted a few places to eat.  Before the kids arrived, we stopped in at the Town Hall Bakery.  We had not researched it, but we would have chosen it if we had.  We both had very interesting meals, but my sandwich won (or at least I thought so).  It was similar to the Lumberjack Sandwich, but instead of apples, they used pears.  Wonderful!  Another interesting thing about the restaurant was there was no way to heat the building.  Therefore, they shut down for the winter.

The next day, Don really wanted to eat at Al Johnson's, because they have goats grazing on their roof.

Since that restaurant did not score on Melinda's foodie scale, Don and I ate there Thursday night.  He had a traditional pork dinner, and I had Swedish pancakes with lingonberries.  They were delish!

The kids arrived on Friday, and our first meal together was at the Shoreline, a restaurant on the far north shore.  We all had some form of fish, and although I thought it was good, I felt like we could have gotten much of the food at other places.  But it was an enjoyable evening.  Good thing I did not know what was going to happen on Saturday.

We started out Saturday morning at Gramma's bakery, where we split a cinnamon roll and a caramel pecan roll.  Then at ten, we stopped at the Door County Ice Cream Factory, where we had some ice cream.  That was when we realized that Melinda wanted to try as many places as we could . . . And we literally ate our way through the Saturday.  By the end of the day, we had visited the Door County Creamery, where we ate their goat's mile ice cream (awesome), MacReady's in Egg Harbor that specialized in artisan bread (yummy!), two different orchards where we bought all sorts of foods, and the Chocolate Chicken coffee store, where Don bought a new flavor of coffee.  And we still needed to eat dinner at the fish boil.

On Sunday morning, we made one last stop at the Door County Bakery.  I had been told about Corsica Bread, and yes, it was outstanding, but the sandwiches and the cookies were, too.

Good thing we left Door County . . . It would be easy to put on a lot of pounds there.
