Great Breakfast - Maggie's Family Restaurant

On Lake Street in Wayzata, MN, Maggie's Family Restaurant is a local "joint". 8:30 am, we walked into a dining room of locals enjoying their favorite. Their specialty is  the French Toast and it did not disappoint. Soft on the inside but not soggy, crunchy on the edges but not hard, subtle flavor but not too sweet. A drizzle of syrup was the perfect finish. Yum.

5 out of 5.

Lions Tap in Eden Prairie, MN.

Reported to be a great burger joint. Thought it was just okay. Crinkle fries from a bag. Patty size was kinda small. Beer (Heartland Honey Bock and Riverwood Red) was just okay as well.

On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 is best), this gets a 3.

Salmon-chanted Evening (July 9, 2011)

Great fundraiser organized by Tom Douglas. A nice little picnic in the park across the street from Etta's, just North of Pike Place Market. $15 per person with proceeds going to Seattle Arts Department. Yummy salmon, corn on the cob, fresh green beans, etc. Tom was at the head of the serving line, doling out the salmon topped with a tomato chutney. (What's the difference between tomato chutney and salsa? About $5 a plate. HA!!)

Several more dates this summer. Here's a link if you're interested.
