Some thoughts on food in the upper midwest…

• Though it’s made in Wisconsin and available all over the US, there are lots of bratwurst that are much better than Johnsonville. But if you’re not in Wisconsin, get a Johnsonville (because hey, it’s bratwurst, which of course, goes great with beer)
• Great lakes perch is a nice whitefish.
• Walleye is a wonderful whitefish. I’d put walleye up against cod any day (for say fisn ‘n chips, a fish taco or a fish sandwich).
• Smoked great lakes trout is amazing. I’m gonna be on the lookout for more before I leave Michigan.

Great Lakes Yellow Perch – yum!

Today I continue east on Highway 2 to Escanaba, Michigan. For the first time this trip I’ll be entering the Eastern time zone.

I’ll reach the end of Highway 2 sometime tomorrow.
