    Stopped by here on the way back from boundary waters and was not disappointed. Nice location and…read moreplenty of indoor and outdoor seatings. Staff was nice and lots of different sandwich choices. Parking lot right next to it which was convenient. I got the slamin Gordon and it was good. The greens were a strong would have liked more salmon but the flavoring was good.

    Northern Waters Smokehaus is one of the most recommended restaurants in Duluth. Located…read moreconveniently in the center of Canal Park, we stopped by on a sunny Wednesday early afternoon, hoping to score some of the best sandwiches in town. Even though this was well past lunch time at 2PM, the outside patio was packed and there was a line of 10 people or so to contend with to order at the register. Due to how busy it was, our food took about 20 minutes to arrive. The Squealy Dan, Porketta ($16) - Unlike most other restaurants with Iron Range Porketta, Northern Waters slices their porketta thinly instead of pulling the pork apart. It has a pleasant spiced flavor and the texture feels as if it's cured rather than roasted. It's relatively tender, and while they give a decent amount of meat, it's completely overshadowed by the heavy spicy quality of the black pepper and the acidity and vegetalness of the crunchy pepperoncini. There's a bit of melted gooey provolone on top of the porketta. While nice, there's not enough to balance out the peppers. This is all on a crusty almost baguette-like hero roll, toasty and warm. The sandwich is served with a side dip that's essentially black pepper and pepperoncini water. Definitely not needed given how overwhelming those elements are in the sandwich. (3/5) Pastrami Mommy ($19) - I haven't had bison pastrami before. Now I know why it's not very common - it's way too lean and dry compared to beef pastrami. Still, it's nicely spiced and peppery, and there's not much of the bison gamey flavor since it's cooked out from the curing. There's a little bit of mayo underneath and some mustard on top, but it's not enough moisture or fat in my opinion to counteract the leanness of the bison. While there are some slices of provolone above the meat, they are served cold. I feel like melting it with the pastrami on the griddle would do wonders to help develop some more unctuousness. It's also served on cold rye - perhaps toasting with some butter would also help. Otherwise, the sandwich is just too dry and lean for my tastes. (3/5) I feel like I ordered the wrong items. I probably should have gone with some of the seafood sandwiches, but I found it strange they only serve Atlantic salmon rather than local lake fish. In the end, I appreciate that Northern Waters Smokehaus makes most of their meats in house, but after trying their food, I feel like it's more hype than substance. Bathrooms - Larger ones located upstairs, shared with the rest of the businesses in the mini mall. Note: Northern Waters Smokehaus charges a 3% credit card fee. This is disclosed on a sign at the front register. Food: [3/5] Service: [ ] Other: [+] Final Rating: 3/5

    Not since childhood have I consumed a Jack Link's Beef Jerky Beef & Mild Cheddar. The other day at…read morethe grocer, I was graced with the abundance of a bulk package in my field of vision. In the moment I didn't realize what a heartwarming decision I was soon to make. So thankful I said why not and bought the bag of little buddies. If eating Jack Link's Cold Crafted were a novel, each bite is its own poetry and prose to the tastebuds. Thank you, Link Snacks for still producing such a hit and bringing me back to a fine memory of childhood. I'll be sure to include one of these packages of double love on future slope and hiking excursions. In the past, I can remember cutting a chunk of tenderloin to snack on during a rigorous snowshoe excursion and while I'll do that again Jack Link's already comes packaged with an Everest-sized taste, a cheese stick and memories that rival that of our favorite filets.

    When you're on a keto diet, meats and proteins are key. Beef jerky is generally a great bet because…read moreit's low carb. Jack's Links get the job done but it's not perfect. At 6 grams of carbs per one ounce serving, it's definitely not great. Highly chewy, satisfying, easy to an ounce but much more than that, my jaw is going to start getting sore from the workout. Ingredients: Beef (duh), water, sugar (uh oh), brown sugar (ugh), contains 2% or less of salt, beef stock, flavors, soy sauce (wheat, soybeans, salt), hydrolyzed corn protein, yeast extract, maltodextrin, citric acid, pineapple powder. Jack's Links is the leading brand in the stores I end up shopping but there are others. [Review 13628 overall, 947 of 2020, number 176 in Wisconsin.]
