DINNER-last night

We interrupt today's commentary by telling you about last night's dinner.  We went to The Antlers, which should have been one mile down the street on which our motel is located.   But the road is closed for construction and between the detour signs, the GPS system and the gravel parking lot when we got there, I was just slightly stressed!  The restaurant had mixed reviews on tripadvisor.com, but we wanted to try it because the menu had venison.  What a COOL place!  There were all kinds of "taxidermied" animals - lions, sheep, goats, bobcats and mounted moose, elk, rhino heads, etc.  And antlers galore!

We asked the waitress (Emily) for meal recommendations and she suggested the wild game lasagna (buffalo, venison and sausage) and the venison pie (which was like a shepherd's pie).  Both were AMAZING!  Too big to finish, so we did bring them back to the room.  Emily would not let us leave without dessert.  She said their desserts were either to big or too rich for one person, so we split the MooseTracks Sundae.  Imagine a peanut butter rice crispie bar with fudge sauce, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.  Incredibly decadent!

With a couple of Mackinac Pale Ales, the bill was just $50.  What a bargain!  We were so glad we made the trip!  This is definitely worthy of a tripadvisor post!
