A hundred years or so in the making, the new restaurant at Clyde Iron Works, 29th Avenue West and Michigan Street, is now open. In the cavernous space of the old iron crane company, in a building that machines came out of that built the Empire State Building, Panama Canal, and logged the forests of… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Clyde Iron Works

Uncle Louis Cafe Review, Duluth, MN
Once upon a time, there was an all night joint in Superior, WI, called “Louis’ Cafe”, which was famous for ultra-delicious pancakes, Greek specialties, and huge portions. Louis’ begat Louis’ West End in Duluth, which spawned Louis London Road and as those outposts faded from memory, a new Louis (not sure if there is… Continue reading Uncle Louis Cafe Review, Duluth, MN
Duluth, MN – Duluth Grill
Hot on the heels of Guy Fieri’s visit, Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse stopped in at the Duluth Grill to see what all the hubbub was about. One of Duluth’s few 24 hour eateries (this town has no Dennys!), the Grill is ensconced in the industrial section of the city, next to a service… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Duluth Grill
Cloquet, MN – Diners, Drive-ins, and Dive, Dive, Dive!
Gordy’s Hi-Hat, Cloquet, Minnesota, is one of those”local legends” that the media seems to love, it’s been open since 1960. It was started, and is still operated by the family who owned one of Duluth’s (30 miles to the NE) first, and beloved drive-ins, the “London Inn,” a local high school hang out. Duluth teenagers… Continue reading Cloquet, MN – Diners, Drive-ins, and Dive, Dive, Dive!
Duluth, MN – Fitger’s Brewhouse
The old Fitgers Brewery along the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota, is the site of a pretty nice hotel, a smattering of touristy shops, and a couple of dining establishments, including “The Brewhouse.” Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia stopped in the Brewhouse the other day with an engorged burger posse, and sampled the Red… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Fitger’s Brewhouse

This chain, known for big screamin’ tv’s (the kind you watch) (ok, the kind that you see broadcasts on) and a variety of those now thought of delicacies that we used to just toss out, chicken wings, has opened in Duluth, MN, which must be one of their remote locations. The last time anybody in… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Buffalo Wild Wings
Duluth, MN – Green Mill Pizza
35 years ago, the Green Mill, ensconced in St. Paul’s oldest, licensed bar, a tiny hole on Hamline Avenue in St. Paul, was the “go-to” place for fancy pizza in the Twin Cities. A variation of Chicago deep dish, the pie was known for its quality ingredients, and for taking (by those day’s standards) too… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Green Mill Pizza
Duluth, MN – Hell Burgers
(I love restaurants that post their menus outside, this is a smashing idea!) Once upon a time (and still) there was/is this great restaurant in Minneapolis called “Hell’s Kitchen.” A self-described “foodie heaven”, famous for wackadoodle (yeah, I don’t know what that means either, I just made it up) breakfasts, and creative entrees like the… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Hell Burgers
Duluth, MN – New Scenic Cafe
Minnesota Burger Correspondent Kawikamedia apparently couldn’t hold out too long after I left town, to get another burger (me neither, we were just in different places!). He visited the New Scenic Cafe, which is a short drive up the shore of Lake Superior from Duluth. New Scenic has been cranking out interesting cuisine from as… Continue reading Duluth, MN – New Scenic Cafe
Duluth, MN – Big Daddy’s Burgers
One has to admire start-up mom & pop diners in these days of big chain saturation. Big Daddy’s has stirred up a big storm with their quality burgers and hand-cut fries. Not only can you eat well, but if you polish off their 3# + burger, they’ll name it after you. Many have tried, all… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Big Daddy’s Burgers
