Food on the Trail

This photo shows Bob's breakfast, also called the "Tower of Power." All of the food to the right of the bowls are what he has for breakfast: granola, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, yogourt, milk or juice and fruit. To the left of the photo is my breakfast: musli with milk and fruit.

We have mainly eaten out of the trailer or at friends' houses. When we do eat out, we generally do so for breakfast. We have tried the following restaurants mentioned in "Road Food" by Jane and Michael Stern:

Stella's in Billings, MT (large cinnamon rolls and plate size pancakes)
Lange's Cafe in Pipeston, MN (gooey caramel rolls and the best sour cream raisin meringue pie)
Cafe Latte in St. Paul, MN (wonderful high class cafeteria food and amazing layer cakes)
Pie Company in Traverse City, MI (wonderful pies)

In addition, we have found a few gems ourselves:

La Tarasca in Centralia, WA (Michoacan food)
Blackbery Patch in Hungry Horse, MT (huckleberry pancakes)
Rock Cod Cafe in Cowichan, BC (yummy fish sandwiches)
Udder Guy in Cowichan, BC (amazing ice cream)
Old Vines Restaurant in Qualsgate Winery, Kelowna BC (very high class lunch, lamb burger, panini with chicken, goat cheese and pepino pesto)
Pastry Shoppe in Lanesboro, MN (breakfast without a menu, you simply tell them what you want, wonderful Danishes)

We're not suffering in the food department. We've also bought Cornish pasties in the Upper peninsula and smoked whitefish, artisinal cheese in the Okanagan, Wisconsin cheeses in Wisconsin.
