Tourists doing Touristy Things today
We stopped at the must stop spot for apple fritters, despite our skepticism after the must stop pie spot. As you can see from the big, fat 5, these fritters did NOT disappoint! Yes, they are huge but we're going for quality over quantity- they just happen to have nailed both. Tender, fluffy, tasty & not oily. I can practically taste it typing now. It was truly everything you want in a fritter, without the things I don't like.
Rumor had it that there were 2 other must have items here: smoked lake trout (5 from the hubs) & butter tarts - these, I did not care for. There was nothing wrong with them, the crust was perfect and I am sure the filling was as it should be but I didn't realize that it's essentially a pecan pie filling sans pecans. Guess who detests pecans pie... yup, me. So, I passed that to the hubs, too. I then tried a lemon tart, which was a-ok. For me, the fritter is where it's at for this stop & you should probably get some smoked fish. Maybe not eat them together.
(Note: we split an order of fish tacos for lunch. They were also good. Staff were great at both registers!) read more
