Munchers End Week with Visit to Arturo's in Maplewood

Fred and Dan bought Arturo's four years ago and have quickly established a great reputation for high quality food, grown locally, and cooked with brilliance.

The great dining experience began immediately as Alex, our waitress, greeted us at the door and got us seated and took our orders.  We explained to Alex about our camp and that we were excited to eat in a restaurant focussing on locally grown food.  She let Fred know we were there and later in the meal Fred came out to talk to us.



Micah seemed especially enthused.

 Grace, Hannah and Olivia finished off a traditional Margherita pizza.


 Woody and Gus discuss the awesomeness of their Tartufi pizza, made with sausage, mushrooms, and white truffle oil.  It was the first time Gus tried truffle oil, which he decided he liked a lot.  Good work Gus, following Michael Pollen's omnivore rule: try new foods.


 Hannah didn't want to leave the Farmer's pizza (fresh cheese, fennel, and vadallia onion) behind, but she couldn't eat any more.  Alex kindly boxed the pizza up for us to take home.

On the way out Fred gave each of us a fresh peach!
