  • For our final stop in Minnesota we headed to the port city of Duluth for a very gloomy day of exploring the city, learning some history, and eating some delicious food. The weather may have been less than ideal, but we tried to make the most of it and had a blast anyways!

    If you ever come back make sure to check out some of out hiking trails, I'm sure you did plenty on the North Shore but there's some wonderful ones in Duluth. If you like dirt biking we have a ton of those and it's a pretty common hobby among the locals. Many tourists are drawn to Canal Park and downtown but Duluthians tend to love our city for the nature and trails scattered throughout the city. Duluth is massive on local businesses so if you keep coming back over and over, you still won't be able to get the entirety of the Duluth feel. Some places for food you missed are The Portland Malt Shoppe which is a very very popular tourist destination off of the boardwalk where you can get some icecream. Sammy's Pizza has multiple locations throughout the midwest but over half of those locations are in the Duluth area. I'd highly recommend them as they have my favorite pizza and serve plenty of other Italian foods (not to mention that they also sell 1919 root beer.) 1919 root beer is just straight up the best root beer to ever be created. Its slowly becoming more and more common to buy but at one point you could only get it from specific restaurants in Minnesota. Nowadays you can run to a gas station in Minnesota or Wisconsin and buy a can of it and hopefully some day you'll be able to across the country.

    After reading that comment that someone didn’t enjoy the food/eating portions of your vlogs, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the food part of all your vlogs! Just this year we have tried the Coffee Shack (Big Island), Root House (Pagosa Springs), Tacos del Gnar (Telluride) , Salt Lick (Austin) and probably a few others that I can’t remember at the moment. So… thank you for your food/ dessert recommendations and I can’t wait to try more!

    Regardless of weather, your vlogs are always fun and enlightening. Kudos for always featuring independent or local restaurants or fooderies (did I invent a word?). These establishments thrive on their creativity, consistency and reputations, reputations built and maintained over time. Running a successful restaurant of any kind is hard work. Don't forget that they need to succeed every time. Not 85% or 95% of the time. Every patron has their own experience. We can always count on you guys to find the unique and special places to chow down.

    Duluth is very romantic in the fog but you must come back on a bright sparkling day. You won't believe how it looks!
    Be sure to visit Lester Park.You passed it when you 1st entered from the North Shore. Duluth has parks with beautiful waterfalls just like the North Shore and Lester is my favorite.
    Also on Park Point is a fantastic sandy beach. On the rare day that it is warm enough it is a great place to lay out. But no one goes in the water!
    By the way sometimes it can be in the eighties on the hill and in the fifties down near the lake in the middle of summer because of the lake breeze.

    Awesome video. It made me want to get off the couch & head straight to Duluth. The OMC Smokehouse was top notch. It seems to combine the best of Austin BBQ (hail Franklin) & Charleston SC with the side dishes like jalapeño grits & sweet potato casserole & corn salad. If I eat there, I’d probably stuff myself into a coma.
