Bye Bye Burgers!

Bye Bye french fries. Bye Bye chocolate cake and ice cream. We'll miss you. January means we start eating healthy again--at least until the end of April. When we took our last drive to Copper Harbor, we decided to stop at The Hut (our favorite restaurant) for one last burger. Steve usually orders the Hut Hut Burger--a one pound burger with cheese and an order of fries or onion rings. Since he was trying to get in the mood for healthier eating, he downsized by ordering the 2/3 pound Hut Burger with cheese and an order of soup instead--Bacon Cheeseburger Soup.

OK, Bacon Cheeseburger Soup wasn't the healthiest soup on the menu, but it was fantastic!

I ordered the smallest burger they have--the modest 1/3 pound Steakburger Deluxe.

You can tell it's a lot smaller than Steve's 2/3 pound Hut Burger in the next photo.

Steve carefully stacked all the toppings on the burger and slathered the bun with mayo. He was visibly giddy with anticipation as he removed his glasses and hoisted the delicious burger toward his mouth.

He ate the whole thing--no problem. He's a "burger man," you know.

The Hut is fairly rustic and is decorated with historical photos. I'm not sure why they display the next photo at a restaurant known for such large meals.

Big Lydia seems to be a better advertisement for salad. Of course, the salads at The Hut are huge, too!

All is well in the Keweenaw!

  1. For a moment there I thought you were going to tell us that the Hut was closing.

    Big Lydia, is archived in MTU Library as Fat Lydia Weidelman. She lived in Calumet all her life. She passed away in 1939. I believe she still has family members in Calumet.
