I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.

I had a patty melt with the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. The patty melt was great and they dice the onions which makes it much cleaner to eat.

My friend said the chicken was bland, I thought it just needed a little salt. I really appreciate when cooks don't over-salt their food, this lets me get the seasoning right where I like it.

ATMOSPHERE: As seen in the picture attached, it's very modern while also being country farmhouse. Lots of white trim and stained wood. Super cute accent wall with the "Gather" name as well. Felt inviting and homey. PRICE: Prices were average for a higher end coffee shop. My medium iced cold press with salted caramel was $4. I wasn't even charged extra for the flavor!

Not an everyday thing, and not inexpensive, but - a chef's table in Alexandria Minnesota? We were totally there. A five course meal, wines accompanying, and it was totally delightful.
