    Sis and I were out and about today. Saturday morning shopping brings a lunch appetite. We wanted to try a local non-chain restaurant. I driving down Main Street I see this establishment and remember hearing about Leader on the news a while back (WCCO or the Star Tribune??). We decided this is where we are going. Street parking available but must have parallel parking skills. There is a decent sized lot in the back. You can walk around to the front door or enter the rear door into the mercantile store and enter the restaurant from there. However there wasn't a clear sign on where the hostess stand was for check-in or if it was grab your own seat. We were greeted by a man as we aimlessly walked around the occupied tables. He pointed out a free table/ one sided booth to us and later gave us paper menus. After a short wait we met our waitress and placed our order. Sis ordered the basic bacon cheesburger. I saw pop-overs on the menu and just HAD to get them. It's been over 10 years since I've seen them on a menu. The maple butter was amazing too. Side note: pop-overs came out less than 5 minutes before the entrees. I like speedy service but I had only 2 bites in before my Chicken Club Foccacia sandwich was before me. Chicken was thick and cooked perfectly. I was surprised to see it was a good chunk of chicken vs sliced luncheon meat. French fries were soft inside, extra crunchy on the outside. They weren't marketed as seasoned but I felt like they had a light flavor to them. I was a little put off by pre-dispensed ketchup, even if it was in a cute mini glass ketchup bottle. How dare you tell me how much ketchup I can have...I love ketchup! But it was the perfect amount. It was all gone and so were my fries. So you win. One more thing to mention...I didn't mean to overhear or be nosy but a mom/ boy at the table next to us were finishing eating their lunch when we sat down. They had suitcases (with airport tags) with them and their lift/Lyft was 30 mins late and never showed. They were stranded on the way to a MPLS hotel and I don't think a cab service was available or whatever. She made multiple phone calls to find a way to get service. I was about to offer them a ride (I was heading that way anyhow and didn't fear them being murderous hitchhikers) when the man that sat us earlier (manager?) stepped up and found a ride for both of them. He saved the day. Go Cambridge community!!

    Wowza! I haven't been eating out much and the places I have been getting takeout from I've ordered from in the past. Leader is new to my list. It did not disappoint ! Kids had the Mac and cheese (obviously) I had to have a bite or two or three because it was so good! You'd be surprised how many places can botch a simple dish like Mac and cheese - but Leader is another story creamy cheesy and flavorful! I ordered the pan seared salmon, you guys! It was so good, salmon was cooked perfectly smothered in the perfect amount of green goddess sauce, topped with crisp fresh veggie salad on a bed of perfectly crisp diced potatoes. Everyone was masked, gloved and curbside pick up was super fast and easy. We'll be making this one of our regular joints now.

    I'm going to let you in on a little secret that I keep close to my heart. I (mostly) hate…read moreshopping. La Rue Marche is one of the few exceptions to the rule where I could wander around a store for hours. And in this case, I have over the years. Their clothes are adorable and inspire me to step outside of my fashion comfort zone, comfortably. They have many vintage pieces also have a collection of items that all flow very well together. In my mind I would like to copy and paste everything on hangers into my own closet. I'd be a very happy girl. But it doesn't stop there! They have really unique jewelry, accessories, home goods and novelty items too. I've bought a pendant, hair bows and a candle here to show the range of what's offered. They've recently remodeled which led me to believe that this was a new store with new ownership, but I was pleased to see that it was the same, just re-vamped and freshened up. If you ever find yourself in Hudson and want to get lost in a dreamy world of gorgeous clothes, accessories, shoes and things for your home, come here and wander until your heart's content.

    This is such a cute boutique store just brimming with very unique clothing and accessory finds…read more The price point is a bit on the higher side and the clothing is similar to free people and anthropologie in the styling. They do have some vintage around the store and a ton of very fun and one of a kind jewelry items. You literally could spend a great deal of time in here as so much to take in. I believe they often host special events to coordinate with the community and season.
