Wow you guys keep adding places to my list of areas to checkout. Duluth is a town I didn't know I needed to see but after your video I have to go!! Omg that BBQ looked so good. Great video, yall look like you're having so much fun, love it!
It was really cool to see Duluth through other people’s eyes. Having lived here all my life I know it’s a great place to live, but I feel even more lucky when others appreciate it’s beauty. Thanks so much for stopping and come back!
Its nice to see someone excited about Duluth. Living here my whole life, I forget about how great it is!Come back during the peak of fall when the leaves have changed!!!
You kids are so much fun. I'm always excited when I see you've got a new posting. You two make me smile. What a great way to start the day, even in Duluth on a foggy day.
Glad to see you throwing a spotlight on Duluth and northern Minnesota. There is so much more to see and do in Duluth, and the area is beautiful. We love it here. ❤️
Thank you for giving Duluth the credit she deserves. She's an example of a very old city that is surviving the up's and down's of the economy. You two are soo cute! National Geographic should get in touch with you. The quality of your work is very high!!
That means a lot Colleen, thank you! ❤️ We felt bad that we didn't get to show Duluth in better weather, but had a great time in the city and it reminded us so much of a place very special to us.
I was going to say basically this same thing, so I’ll just add on. 😉 I live in Duluth and love my city so much! It was a pleasure to see it through the eyes of travelers. Thank you for this great video!
What a beautiful place , lot of history there and so many places to explore, and discover , the ships are awesome , and memories of the Edmond Fitzgerald , awesome travels guys. B safe
After reading that comment that someone didn’t enjoy the food/eating portions of your vlogs, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the food part of all your vlogs! Just this year we have tried the Coffee Shack (Big Island), Root House (Pagosa Springs), Tacos del Gnar (Telluride) , Salt Lick (Austin) and probably a few others that I can’t remember at the moment. So… thank you for your food/ dessert recommendations and I can’t wait to try more!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! Food has always been a big part of our channel and always will be because for us, a huge part of why we travel is to experience both unique and local foods, as well as just eat in general! So happy you’ve tried those spots!
I cannot believe what a great job you two do finding all the local gems! I know I commented on an earlier video in your North Shore series that I spent the last couple years in Duluth, and got a ton of hiking & exploring the area in, but your videos have hit pretty much every one of the recommendations I have for people when they come up! So glad you're helping showcase our natural beauty here in MN, keep up the great work, and come back soon!
Thanks you so much! We try very hard to research the places we visit and share the best spots (well, what we think look the best, everyone is different!) so that we can get others excited to visit them someday! We will be back!
I truly wish you all the best/success on your RUclips channel! My daughter and I love watching and hearing about the history of the places you 2 go to. May God Bless you both on your adventures and safe travels
Duluth up to Grand Portage really reminded us a ton of the PNW! We even asked some locals to confirm we weren't crazy for thinking this and they agreed haha
I really enjoyed that video on Duluth. I knew nothing about that area it was beautiful! I appreciate the history and the food! Those sides looked delicious and the ice cream looked yummy. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the next one. God bless you.
@@AdventuresofAplusK I moved from L.A. so that's how I was. I moved my wife and 3 kids here for a job. We acclimated. It's just a different lifestyle. I never had to wake up an hour early to shovel and snow blow before! Seeing the actual seasons is nice though. When it warms up in April and May and the plants magically come back to life it is pretty cool. Glad you guys made it up here.
If you ever come back make sure to check out some of out hiking trails, I'm sure you did plenty on the North Shore but there's some wonderful ones in Duluth. If you like dirt biking we have a ton of those and it's a pretty common hobby among the locals. Many tourists are drawn to Canal Park and downtown but Duluthians tend to love our city for the nature and trails scattered throughout the city. Duluth is massive on local businesses so if you keep coming back over and over, you still won't be able to get the entirety of the Duluth feel. Some places for food you missed are The Portland Malt Shoppe which is a very very popular tourist destination off of the boardwalk where you can get some icecream. Sammy's Pizza has multiple locations throughout the midwest but over half of those locations are in the Duluth area. I'd highly recommend them as they have my favorite pizza and serve plenty of other Italian foods (not to mention that they also sell 1919 root beer.) 1919 root beer is just straight up the best root beer to ever be created. Its slowly becoming more and more common to buy but at one point you could only get it from specific restaurants in Minnesota. Nowadays you can run to a gas station in Minnesota or Wisconsin and buy a can of it and hopefully some day you'll be able to across the country.
We had hoped to visit some Nature around Duluth, but after the busy days on the north shore and busy days ahead we decided to give our bodies a break. But next time for sure!
You did an excellent job showing off the Duluth area, as well as the North Shore in your other video's! Thanks for coming to see how great Minnesota really is! God Bless !! 🤗
Great video of Duluth!! That is too bad that no ships came through while you were there. It is really fun to watch the lift bridge in action as well as being so close to the ships as they pass through the canal. I look forward to following you on the rest of your adventure/journey.
We're always amazed by the quality of ice cream in places you wouldn't expect! You'd think somewhere like Duluth might be a warm cozy food powerhouse, but that ice cream flight looked amazing! 🍦 Way to go Duluth!
Love Creamery is fantastic. It’s all local for everything they buy as far as ingredients. The first shop opened up right across the street for OMC smokehouse and their expansion to the Canal was definitely the best decision.
You two are just the cutest couple ever! And I love how you learn so much about the place and your enthusiasm, not to mention the high production values. Duluth is very romantic in the fog but you must come back on a bright sparkling day. You won't believe how it looks! Be sure to visit Lester Park.You passed it when you 1st entered from the North Shore. Duluth has parks with beautiful waterfalls just like the North Shore and Lester is my favorite. Also on Park Point is a fantastic sandy beach. On the rare day that it is warm enough it is a great place to lay out. But no one goes in the water! By the way sometimes it can be in the eighties on the hill and in the fifties down near the lake in the middle of summer because of the lake breeze.
We bet it’s stunning in the sun! We ended up going to Park Point, but couldn’t see a dang thing haha, so it didn’t make the video. But we can see why it’s popular on a nice day!
@@AdventuresofAplusK And Winter is a whole 'nother adventure up here! I live in Minneapolis and travel up there every chance I get. (There are great sights near here as well like the St. Croix Valley and SE MN bluff country) I'll keep following you on your trip!
@@AdventuresofAplusK soooo normal for us! But I will say this summer has been extremely hot and sunny, like unseasonably hot so y'all must've came the ONE day this summer we had that wasn't nice. Lol
Great video! Can't wait to stop at the ice cream shop and BBQ place you introduced us to! Glad you enjoyed your time in Minnesota! Hope you can get back, someday!!
Regardless of weather, your vlogs are always fun and enlightening. Kudos for always featuring independent or local restaurants or fooderies (did I invent a word?). These establishments thrive on their creativity, consistency and reputations, reputations built and maintained over time. Running a successful restaurant of any kind is hard work. Don't forget that they need to succeed every time. Not 85% or 95% of the time. Every patron has their own experience. We can always count on you guys to find the unique and special places to chow down.
Thanks Lawrence! I like the word fooderies, we shall make that an official word haha! And running a restaurant seems like one of the toughest jobs out there. We struggle a lot with people being unkind, overly critical, etc to us on RUclips and those in restaurants have to deal with that daily and often in person too. Happy to report that both of these spots were amazing, had great service, and you could tell both cared a lot about giving the customer a great experience!
Super cool you guys came to Duluth, plenty more to see, I promise you. I grew up in Duluth, still here. Hiking, mountain biking and a few more good eats I would recommend. Keep up the great videos, can’t wait to see where life takes you next!
I visited Duluth last month and absolutely LOVED IT. I will return again and spend more time there and in neighboring Wisconsin. What a beautiful part of the country.
I just stumbled upon your channel and love this video because I am a Duluthian! You really found so many of the sweet, hidden gems of Duluth, even on a gloomy day. Your review of Love Creamery was spot on and appreciated-- I am one of their Ice Cream Makers! We share a favorite flavor...Monster Cookie!
I grew up in Duluth! I live about 45 minutes away now, so I’m still there all the time. Next time, I recommend checking out Jay Cooke State Park, just south. One of the coolest locations near by! What a cool video!!
I’m an actor, and one of the national tours I was in played Duluth. I had never been there before, and I just fell in love with the city. I’m from Seattle, and I agree with you that the vibes are very similar. It was great to see it again in your video.
Love this and I’m completely hooked on your Vlogs after seeing this one posted. Thank you for capturing the beautiful place I call home and my city of choice!
Another great video!! Never been to these states you are visiting now and so excited to see the other places y’all are going! MN looks like a great place to visit!
The Duluth area is one of my favorite cities that I've traveled to over the years. Split Rock Lighthouse, Betty's Pies in Two Harbors I think and of course the famous aerial lift bridge! Love it!!
It may have been a more dreary day but it was so cool to see the bridges with the the fog! That ice cream flight was SO YUMMY looking and what a cool way to display it! OMGosh, those sides at Oink, Moo & Cluck (what a cuuuuute name by the way!) looked AWESOMELY delicious! 😋🤤 Another fantastic video from two really authentic travelers who really know how to show the destinations they visit! Oh, and I loved the funnies at the end…you two are the best!
The fog did give the city a little bit of mystique! And both the ice cream and BBQ were amazing, such delicious spots that made our time there extra amazing! ❤️
video just popped up in my feed and i watched. gotta say you guys have such a warm and peronable presence you guys make vloggin enjoyable to watch. i moved to duluth in 2018 to attend the university and was pretty resistant to moving here. but after a few years i have grown to appreciate the people and beauty. watching this also helped me appreciate duluth more. highly recommend for food tacos, tacos, tacos for really good street tacos and salchichas Wasabi sushi is pretty solid for midwest sushi standards and the Lake Avenue Restaurant & Bar is also a really good new american style restaurant it seems like you both have such wonderful lives, i will sub to follow your adventures!
After watching your Great Lakes videos, my hubby and I are making it a point to do the same next summer! You two are so fun to watch! So glad I discovered your channel!!! Safe travels :)
Looks like you were there on a raw day, but you managed to have a great day anyway! Glad you are having a great time in the Great Lakes! People from other parts of the country often do not realize how beautiful the Lakes are. Happy belated birthday to Kathryn. Later this week we will be taking our road trip from Michigan to Montana and Wyoming via Theodore Roosevelt National Park, so sort of reversing your trip. Your videos are very helpful (and always enjoyable). Our first trip since covid started, we are a bit nervous, but hopeful.
The great lakes have been stunning! Love how different every area feels as well! We hope y’all have an amazing trip, you’ll have a blast, it’s so gorgeous out there 😍
You guys did stop at a few of the most popular places currently and Im glad you enjoyed yourselves !! (I've lived here (Duluth) 98% of my life.) Thank you for the great views and fun exploration.. 😁👍👍
@@AdventuresofAplusK Ahhh..!! Well you guys found it!! We have more places that do ribs too even just down the block from the OMC Smokehouse. Newer place thats partially owned by a childhood friend of mine. If you guys would like some more suggestions please let me know, my brother is a foodie around here too so he'd have the perfect suggestions for both !! Lol
Hahaha we didn't mind, it reminded us of back home in Seattle! We still had a great time 😃 Although, we did feel bummed we couldn't show Duluth in all its glory in this video for others!
So glad you came here! Northern Waters sandwiches in Canal Park is worth a drive from WHEREVER!! We also have FABULOUS breweries! Driving down the hill into Duluth is a gorgeous sight! We are all hanging on the beaches and parks! Great trails, wonderful climate, cool people. Great coffee shops and live music always somewhere! Lots of art and activities. Duluth is The BEST CITY EVER. thanks for stopping by the Nort’land!!
I am glad you enjoyed Duluth! I was there about a month ago and visited some of the places you also visited. I think Love Creamery has the best ice cream so far:). Minnesota thanks you for visiting us:). Come back again, soon!
On our two trips to the North Country we just drove past Duluth and we loved going by the high end houses on the way out of Duluth on the shore but have never actually been in and around the city itself. We would LOVE to check out the BBQ place for sure! Norm loves chicharrones as a go to snack also! Thanks for getting me hyped up to make an actual trip to Duluth!
Adam’s eyes was lit up when he saw the bbq 🤩 this is the perfect Adam day with bbq and rich history. So fun and full of information video well done as always ❤️
A+K, this was a wonderful visit to Duluth. I did not visit the city on my North Shore trip some years ago. However, I did enjoy your Canal Park and the Maritime Museum visit. I'm glad you showcase your adventures even when the weather isn't "perfect." When I head to the Great Lakes, usually along Michigan's shoreline, I enjoy getting a glimpse of the big ships. I'm curious to see if you are planning to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes. Onward to view your Apostle Islands vlog. Take care.
It’s so hard for us to film on gloomy days because we want to showcase places at their finest, but we gotta share the less pretty days, as those are reality! And we did visit sleeping bear dunes, that video will be out in a few weeks!
Thank you for checking out our Beautiful City. Maybe next time you can see a ship come through, its pretty cool watching them. Also on Sunny day the Skyline you were on is Absolutely Gorgeous. You can go from one end of the city to the other. My favorite place to ride motorcycles above the city! You were at Enger Tower so you already know. Cmon back for a Sunny tour. I always recommend our Skyline Drive to Tourists. Hope to see you again!!!
Man the food you guys get always look so good! I really feel kinda bad that the weather is crappy up in the Old North! But the photos of the bridge in the mist was really beautiful!
So fun you 2. Cannot wait to get back up there and try that ice cream. I’ve been following them since they opened and they it looks delicious. Same with the smokehouse. Duluth stepping up its food game. And needless to say I’m so excited to see what kind of cheese adventures you get into in my home state.
Love it! My mom grew up in Duluth and attended Central High School when it was still used as a high school. Too bad you didn't get to see a ship go through the canal. Next time.
Sorry about the inclement weather, but it looks like you guys still had a good day. All that cold water in Superior has a considerable effect on the air temperature. The food looked fantastic.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Lake Superior really affects the weather in Duluth & around the whole lake. It can be cold down by the lake and warm up on the top of the hill in Duluth.
What I would give for a week of wet weather here in the West! That said, glad you didn’t let it dampen(yes I said it🤣) your spirits & still were able to give us such an informative & delightful & delicious tour of the Duluth area!👍🏼 Your outros always make me laugh!😂 You’ve peaked my curiosity of what awaits us when you visit Wisconsin!🤔 Until then …safe travels & hugs for Kona.🥰
Guys!!! Long time subscriber here, just moved back to MN from Port Angeles,WA. Yes!! Cue up Storm King!!🤪 So proud when you conquered that Kathryn! Anyway… missed several of your posts because of moving. Hopped on to see where you guys are adventuring. Low and behold you are (we’re) once again in my backyard! 👍Totally agree with you on similarities of Seattle and Duluth! So glad you got to see some of my favorites. Artists Point, Gunflint, Enger Tower. Hard to leave PNW. But we will be wintering in AZ and Utah. So, we will be brushing up on those posts of your as well!! Happy Adventuring!
Oh man, Mount Storm King is my arch nemesis lol! Congrats on the move and your winter plans sound solid! Not sure we could handle a midwest Winter haha!
OMC Smokehouse was OMG!!! Being from Texas we were blown away with the amazing BBQ. It was well worth the 45 minute wait we had. We got the Mac N Cheese, Elote Corn, Sweet Potato, Grits and the Coleslaw sides and they were all amazing. Two thumbs up from a Texas traveling family. We also went to the Love Creamery across the street and it was amazing. Great suggestions.
Awesome video. It made me want to get off the couch & head straight to Duluth. The OMC Smokehouse was top notch. It seems to combine the best of Austin BBQ (hail Franklin) & Charleston SC with the side dishes like jalapeño grits & sweet potato casserole & corn salad. If I eat there, I’d probably stuff myself into a coma.
As a Duluthian and someone who works in Canal Park this was such a wonderful representation of our town!! Hope to see you guys next time at Flagship Apparel and Vikre Distillery when you come back!! ;D
I am so sorry that you were not able to see the Duluth bridge lift. We visited the area in 2012 and was able to see the bridge lift for a ship, and we thought the museum was awesome too.
Hello Adventurers😊😊, Ohhh WOW! That BBQ looked so really DAMN GOOD! The ice cream looked really good too. We love Duluth and the north shore and may revisit that area at some point. Can't wait to see some Wisconsin CHEESE! Great video👍👍👍👍.
This was such a beautiful video about Duluth!! The next time you come to MN I can give you guys a little tour around the Twin Cities! (Also, you need to come hungry!)
Bummer that you didn’t get Duluth on a beautiful summer day. I moved here after 15 years in San Francisco\, and I have been very surprised of how much I’ve enjoyed it. You really need a few days in Duluth alone just to explore the trails, waterfalls, beaches, nightlife etc. . But thank you for highlighting Duluth and Northern Minnesota. Being new to the area myself I look forward to watching your other videos of the North Country for exploration tips.
If you come back make sure to go back to OMC and get the loaded mac n cheese. It is insane. Great video. I live in Duluth and can't imagine life anywhere else. I've traveled everywhere and this is where I belong. Thank you.
The most famous and venerable restaurants in Duluth are the Pickwick (over a hundred years old, in a lavishly decorated building with hand-painted murals and carved wood); Sir Benedict's On The Lake (British-style place in a 1930s-era building); and Grandma's (in a 19th century building that used to be a bordello, now filled with old store signs from Duluth's history). The Radisson hotel downtown has a revolving restaurant on top that gives a panoramic view of the whole city while you eat (it only revolves slowly, don't worry).
I'm excited to see what you guys do in Wisconsin, I can't wait to go back. Minnesota & northern Wisconsin are both stunning and unexpected, I didn't know how beautiful everything was on Lake Superior & the north country. I was in Ashland & Bayfield about 2 weeks ago, we picked a bunch of blueberries and made jam & syrup from them. If you find yourself in Ashland, you should check out Black Cat Coffeehouse & the Ashland Baking Co across the street (amazing cinnamon rolls/sticky buns), the artesian spring water well, or take a ferry over to Madeline Island. We drove through Duluth, and made our way up to Voyageurs National Park for the Perseid meteor shower. Unfortunately, it was cool and cloudy so we decided not to stay. But the park is stunning and there is so much wildlife, Rainy Lake is a really nice little town. We're planning a trip for next summer, we're going to rent a houseboat for a few days on the lake to get some quality nature time.
We had a great time in Wisconsin! We saw some pretty places and had some unique (to us) experiences! Can't wait to share what we did. We hope to make it to Voyageurs in the future without the van and Kona with us so we can explore it properly!
Funny you mention a comparison to Seattle. I have said before we are like the Seattle of the Midwest. The whole state from the Twin Cities up has that vibe with all the rain and overcast days.
So glad we aren’t alone in this! I asked some locals as well and they confirmed it too! It was hard to explain, but it really made us feel like we were back there and it’s our favorite place, so it’s a huge compliment!
That lift bridge looks impressive! The maritime history in that area sounds fascinating to learn about too. As much as you all like chunky ice cream flavors you should just take a pie, briefly put it in a blender with ice cream, your choice of milk, and voila! No joke, we've done that with pumpkin pie and vanilla, mmm mmm! 😄

It was really cool to see Duluth through other people’s eyes. Having lived here all my life I know it’s a great place to live, but I feel even more lucky when others appreciate it’s beauty. Thanks so much for stopping and come back!
Thank you so much for watching!
Honestly, a gloomy Duluth day is great! Not to say it beats the perfect, sunny and 70s day there but you still had a true Duluth experience!
We actually love us a cloudy day!
Its nice to see someone excited about Duluth. Living here my whole life, I forget about how great it is!Come back during the peak of fall when the leaves have changed!!!
We will 100% be back in the fall next time! 😍
Duluth is such a magical place....
You kids are so much fun. I'm always excited when I see you've got a new posting. You two make me smile. What a great way to start the day, even in Duluth on a foggy day.
Thank you for watching!

We were so pleased with Duluth! It was a very fun city to visit and we’d love to do more next time!
I have lived in Duluth for over a decade but you two taught me a few new things. Awesome video
Yay! That makes us really happy! Thanks for watching 😄
Thank you for giving Duluth the credit she deserves. She's an example of a very old city that is surviving the up's and down's of the economy.

Moved to Duluth last year from CA. This place really grows on you! Winters are cold but the spring through early fall are beautiful.
We know of a few folks who live there and love it so much! The winters sound tough, but we are wimps 😂

There is a lot to do in the summer but not many winter things to do :) most of is just shop and go to the slopes 😂🤣

We were pretty bummed about that! The schedule was kind of wonky for ships that day (super early or super late).
Minnesota looks so awesome to see.
We had a great time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Duluth has some live cams
I live in Duluth and it’s great to see people having a great time :)
The Big Fitz. Such interesting history in those old port towns.
Love the maritime history and LOVE cities on the water!
We're always amazed by the quality of ice cream in places you wouldn't expect! You'd think somewhere like Duluth might be a warm cozy food powerhouse, but that ice cream flight looked amazing! 🍦 Way to go Duluth!
We feel that way about coffee shops too! Love finding amazing coffee rosters in smaller towns and cities 😃
Love Creamery is fantastic. It’s all local for everything they buy as far as ingredients. The first shop opened up right across the street for OMC smokehouse and their expansion to the Canal
was definitely the best decision.
I am a born and raised Minnesnowtan living in Texas for the last five years. It was so good to see a little bit of home, thanks for the video :)
We hope you’re enjoying Texas! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the history of each area you visit. Very helpful. 👍

I live in Minneapolis and travel up there every chance I get. (There are great sights near here as well like the St. Croix Valley and SE MN bluff country)
I'll keep following you on your trip!
2 thumbs up!! See you next time. Travel Safe.
Thank you!
I had just added Duluth and up the coast to my travel map just before you guys started posting videos about it. So glad to get a preview.
We hope you get slightly better weather, although we heard this is normal for them haha
@@AdventuresofAplusK Not with my luck :D
@@AdventuresofAplusK soooo normal for us! But I will say this summer has been extremely hot and sunny, like unseasonably hot so y'all must've came the ONE day this summer we had that wasn't nice. Lol
Great video! Can't wait to stop at the ice cream shop and BBQ place you introduced us to! Glad you enjoyed your time in Minnesota! Hope you can get back, someday!!
We will for sure be back! 🙌🏼
I really appreciate you all eating all those delicious desserts for us and giving us reviews.
Of course, always happy to eat for everyone! 😜
Regardless of weather, your vlogs are always fun and enlightening. Kudos for always featuring independent or local restaurants or fooderies (did I invent a word?). These establishments thrive on their creativity, consistency and reputations, reputations built and maintained over time. Running a successful restaurant of any kind is hard work. Don't forget that they need to succeed every time. Not 85% or 95% of the time. Every patron has their own experience. We can always count on you guys to find the unique and special places to chow down.
Thanks Lawrence! I like the word fooderies, we shall make that an official word haha! And running a restaurant seems like one of the toughest jobs out there. We struggle a lot with people being unkind, overly critical, etc to us on RUclips and those in restaurants have to deal with that daily and often in person too. Happy to report that both of these spots were amazing, had great service, and you could tell both cared a lot about giving the customer a great experience!
Super cool you guys came to Duluth, plenty more to see, I promise you. I grew up in Duluth, still here. Hiking, mountain biking and a few more good eats I would recommend. Keep up the great videos, can’t wait to see where life takes you next!
Oh yeah, lots more to see! We will be back 😃
I visited Duluth last month and absolutely LOVED IT. I will return again and spend more time there and in neighboring Wisconsin. What a beautiful part of the country.
It is such a gorgeous part of the country! So happy you enjoyed it there too!
I just stumbled upon your channel and love this video because I am a Duluthian! You really found so many of the sweet, hidden gems of Duluth, even on a gloomy day. Your review of Love Creamery was spot on and appreciated-- I am one of their Ice Cream Makers! We share a favorite flavor...Monster Cookie!
Ahhh we LOVE the ice cream you make! What a fun job! 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for watching and for making Duluth extra sweet 😋🍦
I grew up in Duluth! I live about 45 minutes away now, so I’m still there all the time. Next time, I recommend checking out Jay Cooke State Park, just south. One of the coolest locations near by! What a cool video!!
We had planned to go there actually! But we were too tired. Definitely will next time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Also Temperance river and Cascade river. The best sites are very near the highway so very little hiking required!
I’m an actor, and one of the national tours I was in played Duluth. I had never been there before, and I just fell in love with the city. I’m from Seattle, and I agree with you that the vibes are very similar. It was great to see it again in your video.
That is so awesome! We are glad we aren't crazy in thinking that!
Love this and I’m completely hooked on your Vlogs after seeing this one posted. Thank you for capturing the beautiful place I call home and my city of choice!
Thank you so much for watching Emma!
Man, what a great looking meal. My mouth was dripping the whole time! Have fun out there!
It was SOOO good! Amazing service at both as well!
The loaded Mac and cheese from OMC is FANTASTIC as well❤️
Another great video!! Never been to these states you are visiting now and so excited to see the other places y’all are going! MN looks like a great place to visit!
So excited to share more of the Great Lakes soon! It has been a really fun time up here!
You made a wonderful video on a not so wonderful weather day in Duluth! Great job! On to Wisconsin and more fun!! Thanks again for taking us along!!!
Thank you! Always makes us a tad bummed when we can’t show the true beauty of a city. But so glad you enjoyed it anyways!
I live in Duluth and you really captured it's beauty and essence.
That means a ton, thank you! ❤️
The Duluth area is one of my favorite cities that I've traveled to over the years. Split Rock Lighthouse, Betty's Pies in Two Harbors I think and of course the famous aerial lift bridge! Love it!!
Split rock lighthouse and Betty’s pies are both so awesome!
The Rustic Inn really does have better pie than Betty's Pie, but don't let anyone know. It's the local spot. We keep the tourists at Betty's.
Don't waste your time at Bettys Pies
@@robinkulaszewicz9685 we wasted our time and are glad we did! ❤️
@@robinkulaszewicz9685 Yeah heard ever since got new owners, the quality changed for the worst!
Anxiously awaiting any footage you film of your time throughout Wisconsin!
Excited to share what we did there! We focused more on local experiences and it was a great time!
Thanks for visiting my hometown
Absolutely! We loved it!
It may have been a more dreary day but it was so cool to see the bridges with the the fog! That ice cream flight was SO YUMMY looking and what a cool way to display it! OMGosh, those sides at Oink, Moo & Cluck (what a cuuuuute name by the way!) looked AWESOMELY delicious! 😋🤤 Another fantastic video from two really authentic travelers who really know how to show the destinations they visit! Oh, and I loved the funnies at the end…you two are the best!
The fog did give the city a little bit of mystique! And both the ice cream and BBQ were amazing, such delicious spots that made our time there extra amazing! ❤️
It's so weird watching a video about where I live. I Love Canal Park that's a great place to go.
You live in a cool place!
You really did Duluth right! Our favorite place to go… no matter what the weather. Great video
Thank you so much!
Crazy how good the content keeps on getting.
Thank you!
video just popped up in my feed and i watched. gotta say you guys have such a warm and peronable presence you guys make vloggin enjoyable to watch. i moved to duluth in 2018 to attend the university and was pretty resistant to moving here. but after a few years i have grown to appreciate the people and beauty. watching this also helped me appreciate duluth more.
highly recommend for food
tacos, tacos, tacos for really good street tacos and salchichas
Wasabi sushi is pretty solid for midwest sushi standards
and the Lake Avenue Restaurant & Bar is also a really good new american style restaurant
it seems like you both have such wonderful lives, i will sub to follow your adventures!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! We also appreciate you sharing some spots to check out next time 😃
So glad you loved our city!❤️
❤️❤️
Love it, I would love it if you came back and explored more of what the town has to offer!
We hope to someday 😃
super delicious food; you guys make me hungry. Beautiful place, yummy food. What else we can expect more.. Happy travelling
Thank you! The food was amazing!
I’ve been to Duluth many times and you showed me two new options for eats. Much thanks!
Awesome, we love when we can share something new for those who know the area!
After watching your Great Lakes videos, my hubby and I are making it a point to do the same next summer! You two are so fun to watch! So glad I discovered your channel!!! Safe travels :)
Woo! So pumped to hear that! We have loved our time up here!
Looks like you were there on a raw day, but you managed to have a great day anyway! Glad you are having a great time in the Great Lakes! People from other parts of the country often do not realize how beautiful the Lakes are. Happy belated birthday to Kathryn. Later this week we will be taking our road trip from Michigan to Montana and Wyoming via Theodore Roosevelt National Park, so sort of reversing your trip. Your videos are very helpful (and always enjoyable). Our first trip since covid started, we are a bit nervous, but hopeful.
The great lakes have been stunning! Love how different every area feels as well! We hope y’all have an amazing trip, you’ll have a blast, it’s so gorgeous out there 😍
You guys did stop at a few of the most popular places currently and Im glad you enjoyed yourselves !! (I've lived here (Duluth) 98% of my life.) Thank you for the great views and fun exploration.. 😁👍👍
We had a great time! We joke we travel for BBQ and ice cream, so we had to find the best spots there 😄
@@AdventuresofAplusK Ahhh..!! Well you guys found it!! We have more places that do ribs too even just down the block from the OMC Smokehouse. Newer place thats partially owned by a childhood friend of mine. If you guys would like some more suggestions please let me know, my brother is a foodie around here too so he'd have the perfect suggestions for both !! Lol
awwww...the gloom 😩 more reasons to come back! LOL! we promise it's not always like this! 😅
Hahaha we didn't mind, it reminded us of back home in Seattle! We still had a great time 😃 Although, we did feel bummed we couldn't show Duluth in all its glory in this video for others!
So glad you came here! Northern Waters sandwiches in Canal Park is worth a drive from WHEREVER!! We also have FABULOUS breweries! Driving down the hill into Duluth is a gorgeous sight! We are all hanging on the beaches and parks! Great trails, wonderful climate, cool people. Great coffee shops and live music always somewhere! Lots of art and activities. Duluth is The BEST CITY EVER. thanks for stopping by the Nort’land!!
So happy we were able to visit! ❤️
I am glad you enjoyed Duluth! I was there about a month ago and visited some of the places you also visited. I think Love Creamery has the best ice cream so far:). Minnesota thanks you for visiting us:). Come back again, soon!
We loved Love Creamery! So glad you do too!
On our two trips to the North Country we just drove past Duluth and we loved going by the high end houses on the way out of Duluth on the shore but have never actually been in and around the city itself. We would LOVE to check out the BBQ place for sure! Norm loves chicharrones as a go to snack also! Thanks for getting me hyped up to make an actual trip to Duluth!
There are some gorgeous houses in Duluth! 😍 And we hope y’all can visit OMC next time!
Adam’s eyes was lit up when he saw the bbq 🤩 this is the perfect Adam day with bbq and rich history. So fun and full of information video well done as always ❤️
I think he may have formed a tear! Haha 😂
A+K, this was a wonderful visit to Duluth. I did not visit the city on my North Shore trip some years ago. However, I did enjoy your Canal Park and the Maritime Museum visit. I'm glad you showcase your adventures even when the weather isn't "perfect." When I head to the Great Lakes, usually along Michigan's shoreline, I enjoy getting a glimpse of the big ships. I'm curious to see if you are planning to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes. Onward to view your Apostle Islands vlog. Take care.
It’s so hard for us to film on gloomy days because we want to showcase places at their finest, but we gotta share the less pretty days, as those are reality! And we did visit sleeping bear dunes, that video will be out in a few weeks!
Thank you for checking out our Beautiful City. Maybe next time you can see a ship come through, its pretty cool watching them. Also on Sunny day the Skyline you were on is Absolutely Gorgeous. You can go from one end of the city to the other. My favorite place to ride motorcycles above the city! You were at Enger Tower so you already know. Cmon back for a Sunny tour. I always recommend our Skyline Drive to Tourists. Hope to see you again!!!
We definitely will be back for a sunny day! And to see a ship!
Well I hope you had fun here!! I personally love being in Duluth!! I don't live in it directly but I love learning more about the history of it
We had a great time! Can't wait to come back!
Man the food you guys get always look so good! I really feel kinda bad that the weather is crappy up in the Old North! But the photos of the bridge in the mist was really beautiful!
We loooove finding good spots to eat! And the mist added a cool vibe, although we really want to go back when it’s sunny too!
I may have to make the 8 mile drive from my house to Duluth just for the OMC BBQ. Another great video. Thanks!
Yes! Go go go! Make sure to get the brisket from the fattier end for the tastiest experience 😋
So fun you 2. Cannot wait to get back up there and try that ice cream. I’ve been following them since they opened and they it looks delicious. Same with the smokehouse. Duluth stepping up its food game. And needless to say I’m so excited to see what kind of cheese adventures you get into in my home state.
Duluth's food game was strong! Both spots were oh so good! We hope you can check them out soon 😃
underrated gem is Duluth to the fullest. so is kenora, ont to the north. btw, u r both such a nice delightful couple. happy travels !!!!
We loved Duluth! Thanks for the kind words.
Love it! My mom grew up in Duluth and attended Central High School when it was still used as a high school. Too bad you didn't get to see a ship go through the canal. Next time.
That high school was insanely cool! Adam couldn’t stop freaking out about how beautiful it is 😍
Sorry about the inclement weather, but it looks like you guys still had a good day. All that cold water in Superior has a considerable effect on the air temperature. The food looked fantastic.
It was top notch! 😋
This is very surprising. The last three weeks here in Duluth have been over 85 and beautiful!!!
This was filmed a little over 2 weeks ago. We had pretty cloudy and smoky weather in MN, but it didn't stop the fun!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Lake Superior really affects the weather in Duluth & around the whole lake. It can be cold down by the lake and warm up on the top of the hill in Duluth.
What I would give for a week of wet weather here in the West! That said, glad you didn’t let it dampen(yes I said it🤣) your spirits & still were able to give us such an informative & delightful & delicious tour of the Duluth area!👍🏼 Your outros always make me laugh!😂 You’ve peaked my curiosity of what awaits us when you visit Wisconsin!🤔 Until then …safe travels & hugs for Kona.🥰
Gah we so wish we could’ve sent some of that drizzle that way! It turns out there are now some fires in Minnesota too 😫😭
Guys!!! Long time subscriber here, just moved back to MN from Port Angeles,WA. Yes!! Cue up Storm King!!🤪 So proud when you conquered that Kathryn! Anyway… missed several of your posts because of moving. Hopped on to see where you guys are adventuring. Low and behold you are (we’re) once again in my backyard! 👍Totally agree with you on similarities of Seattle and Duluth! So glad you got to see some of my favorites. Artists Point, Gunflint, Enger Tower. Hard to leave PNW. But we will be wintering in AZ and Utah. So, we will be brushing up on those posts of your as well!! Happy Adventuring!
Oh man, Mount Storm King is my arch nemesis lol! Congrats on the move and your winter plans sound solid! Not sure we could handle a midwest Winter haha!
OMC Smokehouse was OMG!!! Being from Texas we were blown away with the amazing BBQ. It was well worth the 45 minute wait we had. We got the Mac N Cheese, Elote Corn, Sweet Potato, Grits and the Coleslaw sides and they were all amazing. Two thumbs up from a Texas traveling family.
We also went to the Love Creamery across the street and it was amazing. Great suggestions.
OMC Smokehouse is so good right?! We're glad you enjoyed it and Love Creamery!
Awesome video. It made me want to get off the couch & head straight to Duluth. The OMC Smokehouse was top notch. It seems to combine the best of Austin BBQ (hail Franklin) & Charleston SC with the side dishes like jalapeño grits & sweet potato casserole & corn salad. If I eat there, I’d probably stuff myself into a coma.
We will say, many BBQ spots have average sides, but OMC not only had amazing smoked meat, but the sides were SO good too!
Amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing🙋
Thanks for watching 🥰
As a Duluthian and someone who works in Canal Park this was such a wonderful representation of our town!! Hope to see you guys next time at Flagship Apparel and Vikre Distillery when you come back!! ;D
Duluth was such a treat! We wandered through Flagship Apparel…very neat shop! Thanks for watching!
The only thing I previously knew about Duluth was the awesomeness of Duluth Trading Co. so I really enjoyed this tour of the town. Great outtakes!
We're so happy you enjoyed it! We had a great time in the city, even with the weather!
I am so sorry that you were not able to see the Duluth bridge lift. We visited the area in 2012 and was able to see the bridge lift for a ship, and we thought the museum was awesome too.
We were bummed about it! Just a reason to go back!
@@AdventuresofAplusK That's right!!!
Rain!! That’s so great. We’re jealous. Greetings from the dry PNW.
It was nice to see some rain! They now have fires that have closed the boundary waters up in MN, so they need more of it 😭
Love Duluth & you covered it well. We are returning there this summer and this wets my whistle!
The animal noises! 🤣🤣🤣
The pig sounded like a snore but the chicken sounded really authentic.
He really nailed the chicken sound! 🐔
LOVE to see new faces enjoy my city!
❤️❤️❤️
I’m born here and never left this town. It’s the best place to live. It just simple.
We really enjoyed it! So glad you love your home!
I live in Duluth.. OMC and Love Creamery are the bomb 💣 great choices!
We loved them both so much!
@@AdventuresofAplusK if you’re ever back in the area and want to look for agates on the beaches, message my hubby. His channel is “Agate Dad”
😄
That is awesome!
Hello Adventurers😊😊, Ohhh WOW! That BBQ looked so really DAMN GOOD! The ice cream looked really good too. We love Duluth and the north shore and may revisit that area at some point. Can't wait to see some Wisconsin CHEESE! Great video👍👍👍👍.
Adam said it should be called OMG Barbecue 😂😜 And we have a pretty awesome cheese video coming next week!
This was such a beautiful video about Duluth!! The next time you come to MN I can give you guys a little tour around the Twin Cities! (Also, you need to come hungry!)
We really want to visit the Twin Cities and know that our stomachs would be very happy there!
Aw! I was born and raised in the Twin Cities and Duluth/ the North Shore was a common vacation spot. Loved seeing this video and love your channel!
Thank you so much for watching!
Coming from a frequenter of the North Shore, Rustic Inn for the win!
Caramelled Apple Pecan Pie and Wild Rice Meatloaf, best ever!
Sounds delish!
Bummer that you didn’t get Duluth on a beautiful summer day. I moved here after 15 years in San Francisco\, and I have been very surprised of how much I’ve enjoyed it. You really need a few days in Duluth alone just to explore the trails, waterfalls, beaches, nightlife etc. . But thank you for highlighting Duluth and Northern Minnesota. Being new to the area myself I look forward to watching your other videos of the North Country for exploration tips.
It was a bummer, but thankfully we like cloudy days too! We look forward to coming back to experience it again 😃
If you come back make sure to go back to OMC and get the loaded mac n cheese. It is insane. Great video. I live in Duluth and can't imagine life anywhere else. I've traveled everywhere and this is where I belong. Thank you.
We totally will! And thanks so much for watching!
The most famous and venerable restaurants in Duluth are the Pickwick (over a hundred years old, in a lavishly decorated building with hand-painted murals and carved wood); Sir Benedict's On The Lake (British-style place in a 1930s-era building); and Grandma's (in a 19th century building that used to be a bordello, now filled with old store signs from Duluth's history). The Radisson hotel downtown has a revolving restaurant on top that gives a panoramic view of the whole city while you eat (it only revolves slowly, don't worry).
Those look yummy! Next time!
I'm excited to see what you guys do in Wisconsin, I can't wait to go back. Minnesota & northern Wisconsin are both stunning and unexpected, I didn't know how beautiful everything was on Lake Superior & the north country. I was in Ashland & Bayfield about 2 weeks ago, we picked a bunch of blueberries and made jam & syrup from them. If you find yourself in Ashland, you should check out Black Cat Coffeehouse & the Ashland Baking Co across the street (amazing cinnamon rolls/sticky buns), the artesian spring water well, or take a ferry over to Madeline Island. We drove through Duluth, and made our way up to Voyageurs National Park for the Perseid meteor shower. Unfortunately, it was cool and cloudy so we decided not to stay. But the park is stunning and there is so much wildlife, Rainy Lake is a really nice little town. We're planning a trip for next summer, we're going to rent a houseboat for a few days on the lake to get some quality nature time.
We had a great time in Wisconsin! We saw some pretty places and had some unique (to us) experiences! Can't wait to share what we did. We hope to make it to Voyageurs in the future without the van and Kona with us so we can explore it properly!
Im a college student and i live for these foggy days. Idk what it is but i just feel so comfy
We love a good foggy day to work and relax a bit!
That's where I live. Hope you enjoyed.
We had a great time!
Awesome video guys!
Thanks Nate! 😃
Funny you mention a comparison to Seattle. I have said before we are like the Seattle of the Midwest. The whole state from the Twin Cities up has that vibe with all the rain and overcast days.
So glad we aren’t alone in this! I asked some locals as well and they confirmed it too! It was hard to explain, but it really made us feel like we were back there and it’s our favorite place, so it’s a huge compliment!
I play at enger park golf course all the time and I can hear people ringing that bell!
Hahaha that is awesome! We hope the noise doesn’t mess up your golf game!
That lift bridge looks impressive! The maritime history in that area sounds fascinating to learn about too. As much as you all like chunky ice cream flavors you should just take a pie, briefly put it in a blender with ice cream, your choice of milk, and voila! No joke, we've done that with pumpkin pie and vanilla, mmm mmm! 😄
Hahah that sounds dang good! We will save some pie for some chunks too 😜🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK awesome!
