Get In My Belly!

• Fargo Moorhead Eats - this Facebook Group is the best place in town to learn about local food & drink, and ask questions.

• I wanted to give a plug to CJ’s Tavern At Rose Creek, as it’s a location we all may not think about, and also we had a great lunch there recently. Like them on Facebook to learn about food & drink specials.

It’s Red River Market Season! The Red River Market runs through the end of October in downtown Fargo, celebrating 10 years. A summer & fall must for many (thousands attend each year), if you’ve never been to it, you gotta go!

• Vendor Feature - You a brown sugar, white sugar or no sugar? Me, I’m a butter & brown sugar person when it comes to lefse. TBH though, I’ll eat it however it’s put in front of me. Visit the Freddy’s Lefse booth for some packages of lefse and baking mixes.
