A2 bucket list

With only about 5 weeks left as a resident of A2, I have been trying to do a few things on my A2 bucket list, pretty much all involving food. About two weeks ago during Beth's visit from Chicago we had lunch at Zingerman's Deli. I have been to visit this place several times, but never partook in the deli-lunch experience. The Zingerman's franchise is a staple and must-do in A2 for foodies. The deli was voted one of the top 25 food markets in the world by Food and Wine Magazine in 2004.

We shared:
#97 (Lisa C.’s Boisterous Brisket, Featured in Esquire magazine and on Oprah! Hand-pulled beef brisket simmered in Zingerman’s own BBQ sauce on a soft bun, served with a side of applewood-smoked baked beans. ), which was voted Oprah's favorite.
#51 (Bob & Roz’s Fiesta, Grilled Amish chicken breast, Wisconsin muenster cheese, spicy fire-roasted New Mexico green chiles, roasted red pepper sauce, lettuce & tomato on grilled rye bread. Served with sour cream on the side.)

Also, this weekend I hit up another A2 foodie delight, Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger. This spot has been featured on Man vs. Food several times. I kept is clean and only ordered a double (a quint is standard on the menu) with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, mustard and catsup. I also had a side of onion rings and a very refreshing orange, cream soda.

On the list this week for lunch is Le Dog and their famous lobster bisque and Weber's Inn for prime rib.
