Trip to Butte Montana


Great Pasta Selection
My birthday wish just came true last week! 

Chris asked me what I would like to do for my birthday back in November (BTW) and I said I really wanted to to go to the Front Street Market in Butte, MT.    I kind of forgot about my birthday wish, but we needed to run to Butte last Friday and my wish came true! 

We ate lunch in the deli which has a very limited menu that is always delicious.  Friday's Specials were Seafood Bisque and Turkey Sandwiches.  I skipped the sandwich and had a bowl of the bisque which was rich and creamy with giant, tender chunks of crabmeat.  MMMMmmm.
While waiting for the food to arrive, we did a little shopping.  There is so much to look at from dried goods, preserved goods, canned condiments, frozen treats, imported cheeses and sausages, and every kind of sauce you can imagine.

After enjoying our delicious lunch, the owner Mark Yakawich rang up our purchases, provided us with entertaining conversation AND carried the groceries out to my car.  It doesn't get any better!!

My favorite things at the Front Street Market are the Gorgonzola Cheese Dip with Sesame Bread Sticks, the homemade raviollis in the freezer section and the various Front Street Market canned goods.  Let me just say that the cheese dip should have a warning label.  It is extremely addictive and may start arguments among family members about who is hogging the cheese dip.

In addition to the food, they have a great wine and beer selection too. 

Front Street Market is a great place to stop when you are in Butte!
