Where to eat in Duluth?

[boblee]

I should be getting into Duluth @ 11 or so. I want to eat good food, but quick, so I can get to the DECC for East-Cloquet...anyone have any ideas? <p></p><i></i>

Grandma's is a nice choice.<br><br>I bet Lee has some great recommendations! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :smokin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>The Puck – aka: The self-proclaimed People’s Champion <p></p><i></i>

If you want something fast and you're pressed for time, then you're really stuck with Canal Park. I'd go with Grandma's; if Pizza Luce opened earlier than 11:00, I'd totally recommend them.<br><br>If you had more time, I can recommend something in most food types you can think of. Except Jamaican. We don't do Jamaican in Duluth. Wish we did.<br><br>As far as the get-together before the games, we need something which opens earlier than 11:00, time to sit around a bit and not be so rushed to get over to the first game. A couple places which come to mind are the Greenery and Schlotzky's (altho you Subway fans might die from actually having to eat something good) in the Holiday Center.<br><br>Let me know if you're looking for something post-games. Too bad tUMD is playing that night or I'd be up for something post-games. On the other hand, the way they've been playing lately..... <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.minnhock.com/biggrin.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>Lee <p>____________<br>Message Board arsonist since 2005<br>Egomaniac since 2006</p><i></i>

My sophomore year we traveled up to Duluth to play Central...Some of our guys thought would be fun to walk over to Grandma's and have some chilli fries during the JV game.<br><br>Yeah, we didn't play so hot that day. <p>"both ties they scored as many goals as the opponent" - ae42</p><i></i>

My Schedule for Saturday is such:<br><br>10:00 AM Leave Grand Rapids<br>11:45 AM Arrive @ DECC<br>12:00 PM Enjoy Cloquet beat East 1-0 in overtime<br>2:00 PM Enjoy Grand Rapids and Elk River<br>5:00 PM Head back to Grand Rapids<br>7:30 PM Enjoy Hibbing beat Virginia (again) at the IRA <p></p><i></i>

[Mnhockeygod]

Pizza Luce is a great place to eat, one of my favorites. <p></p><i></i>

[vandalhockey]

I know Red Lobster is open early in the morning on weekdays. I have to go to Duluth every Tuesday morning and I have lunch there at 10:30-11:00 every Wednesday. If everything is open there isn't a bad spot down there to get some awesome pregame food. Anytime I go to the DECC for a game or a play(my wife drags me to plays, stupid wife and wanting "culture") I always leave Hibbing at 4 for the game/play at 7. <br><br>Hey boblee, keep those roads clear for me so I can get to the IRA in time to see my 'Jackets play <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Does Sir Benedict's still exist in Duluth? British style pub... It was located just north of downtown... They had great sandwiches and a nice beer selection... <p></p><i></i>

Yes... I remember. It was always better during the summer months! <p></p><i></i>
