Food on the Fourth of July Trip

We did our usual mixture of eating out and eating at home on our Minnesota trip. On the way home from a day trip to North Dakota, we stopped at Pike and Pint Grill, a nice restaurant in Alexandria, Minnesota. They focus on local craft beers and unusual dishes. I tried out a flight of beers that was delicious.

Yummy beers

The best was the Dark Side Vanilla Porter from Empyrean Brewing Company in Lincoln, Nebraska (so "local craft" has a fairly wide locality).

For my meal, I had the State Fair Burger, which has fried onions and cheese curds on it! Oh, and the bun is a pretzel bun. It was quite a treat though I am sure just as unhealthy as the food you get at a state fair.

State Fair Burger!

I had an egg bake at the Rendezvous Cafe in Isanti, Minnesota, along with a nice chai latte. It came with a rhubarb sauce and little slice of berry bread. What a great second breakfast.

Egg bake with extras

We had an egg bake later at a friend's house that was even more delightful. No pictures, though.

We also had an awesome Ice Cream Sandwich with a dark beer at Black Sheep Pizza in Minnesota, again without any pictures taken. I gotta start slacking off.
