A great life demands a great dinner

Life in the Twin Ports is great; especially when we have so many great places to eat. Last night I treated my girl to a wonderful dinner at Blackwoods in Proctor.

After ordering a white zin wine for her, and a Black Forest Ale (or something like that- it was close to an Amber Bock) we ordered the Bulldog bites which are sautéed beef tips on a blanket of crispy onions and more. These were absolutely delicious and served in a quantity that makes it a meal in itself. Deborah ordered the beef tips which were smothered in a great tasting creamy mushroom sauce and I ordered the full rack of ribs. The ribs were good but I’m so biased because I find that it is so hard to beat Eddies in Superior Wisconsin; but I am always looking for a contender. 

I recommend Blackwoods for any dining occasion. The food and service is always great and the prices as reasonable as anywhere. .

PS. The people at Blackwoods certainly know how to market as they offer a “loyalty” card that earns points, and they never forget you birthday!

Two places I promote to eat at, in Duluth Minnesota

Recently I ate at a few places in Duluth and I must say that I'm impressed. About a week ago I was with a client at Perkins on London Road and had the lunch special: tomato basil soup and a (I think it was a) patty melt roast beef sandwich; wow, lots of meat and filled with flavor.

Then on Sunday, January 8th after presenting my live "voiceover" version presentation of my Winter Boy screenplay at the VFW137 in West Duluth, I treated to voiceover cast to a treat at the Duluth Grill. I must say that Tom and the family have really made that place into something. Much of the food is organic and they even grow some themselves. I'm always impressed about the care they take in not only the quality and taste of their delicious offerings, but also in the very nice presentation of everything they bring to the table.

That's it for now. If you are hungry for lunch, try out the Perkins soup and sandwich. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Duluth Grill is always a winner.
