James Norton (author) and Becca Dilley (photographer)

As the pandemic continues, many of us find ourselves pondering some of the first things we’ll do once restrictions are lifted. For myself and many others I know, two of our most anticipated activities are enjoying a meal in a restaurant and travelling. But after being denied these activities for so long, it’s hard to know where to begin. Luckily, this book is the perfect guide to both. It takes readers on a circle tour of Lake Superior and introduces us to restaurants, farmers, brewers, and bakers who embody the “local” spirit of the big lake and what the water and land offer to food culture. Sprinkled with little history and geography tidbits, the book lets you really get to know the stories of the intriguing and passionate people behind the food at every stop, making them feel like trusted friends you can’t wait to visit. So, start planning now, because with so many mouthwatering choices, you might have to add a few extra days to your journey.
