Tastes of the Northwoods, Part I: The Waterfront Bar & Grill

It was going so well until the pickles.

The transition from eating in LA to eating in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Minnesota is pretty darn easy, especially for my tastes.  While visiting the area recently, I found plenty of food (and beer) to make my tastebuds happy, while forking over a fraction of what I’ve been used to paying.

My first meal up there was at the Waterfront Bar & Grill in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin.  After ordering two pitchers of Leinenkugel’s (the best beer in the world) for $6 each, I took a look at their food menu.  What stood out to me the most on their menu was the double bacon cheeseburger.  At $6, it appeared to be the most expensive burger on the menu.  Not too shabby.

I ordered it and kept on drinking my Leinie’s.  When it did come out, it was just as I had hoped, save for the glowing pickles.  I offered them up to a friend, who quickly removed them from my sight and devoured them.  The burger itself was really good.  This could have been because I hadn’t eaten a real meal in ten hours and had already drank a few beers, but I think it just happened to be a good bar burger.  Despite the trouble with the pickles, I was pretty content with my first meal in the Northwoods.

    It has slow service, though, but the huge tables are nice.

Beer Me Some Bell’s Oberon

Look like summer to you?

It’s really not summer until you’ve had some Oberon.  Sure, the weather may be warm, the grass may be green and the county may be forcing you to water your lawn only on odd-numbered days, but in truth, none of this matters until you get some Oberon in you.  Now, you may be wondering, “What is Oberon?”  If you turn to Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge), you will be lead to believe that Oberon is the king of the fairies.  But this is just hogwash.  In fact, Oberon is more likely to be a king of beers.  No, not the king of beers…some brewery in St. Louis has that copyrighted.
