Dinner at Poppycock's Restaurant


Last night Kim and Chuck took the two of us to Poppycock's Restaurant as a treat. What a treat it was! Chrissy was our waitress and very helpful with menu and with great service to boot.


We started with beverages and appetizers. The appetizers were pita chips with hummus and black bean corn cakes. All (including beverages) were excellent. For main course we had locally caught whitefish encrusted with either nuts or parmesan and topped with either a sauce made from brown butter or reisling. Wonderful!!!!! Chuck had the only different entree since he really likes duck, and he praised the reduction sauce made from fresh sweet cherries, which accompanied it.

On the way back to the car, we stopped at a kiosk type place on the corner of a building that sold coffee and bite-sized bakery goods. The little cakes were small in size like a muffin but could be eaten in two little bites. They had about a dozen choices, and we tried out some. They were excellent! We think this place should be franchised.

So if and when you are in Traverse City, we highly recommend Poppycock's and the bite size dessert kiosk around the corner. Happy eating!!!!!!!
