Destination Duluth

One place to go for a memorable meal is At Sara's Table, The Chester Creek Cafe. This is a neighborhood place up the hill on the way to the University of Minesota, Duluth, and the College of Saint Scholastica. The owners, Barbara Neubert and Carla Blumberg, converted an old food market using recycled wood from several houses and the original market itself. The sign on the building still says Taran's Market.

In the mood for fish? Ask about the salmon. Salmon isn't native to Lake Superior, but in this case is brough in by a Duluth Resident. Every year, fisherman Dave Rogotske and his daughter spend the season fishing in the waters off Alaska. Theri catch, wild salmon including sockeye [and king], is shipped back to places like The Chester Creek Cafe where it shows up on dinner plates free of PCB's and artificial colors. Don't feel like fish? The steaks are grass fed beef and the chichicken is free range.
The Chester Creek Cafe offers several of its menu items in smaller portions: what they call their small plate option. And there are always three vegetarian items on the menu. As part of theri commitment to loca produce, they are catering a dinner train on September 16 featurning the produce of CSA farmers in the area, and other locally grown products.
