At Sara’s Table Chester Creek Cafe on East 8th Street in Duluth’s East Hillside neighborhood has been a beloved local breakfast and lunch institution since Sara Gleeson opened it, building a menu around seasonal local ingredients from the surrounding Lake Superior region and a scratch-made approach that earns the farm-to-table label through actual practice rather than marketing. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 6 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Sauced and Spiced,” which aired October 4, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Duluth breakfast kitchen doing creative, thoughtful food with Minnesota ingredients in a warm, community-centered setting that reflects the neighborhood it anchors.

What to Eat
The Seasonal Egg Scrambles built around whatever vegetables and proteins are local and available are the breakfast centerpiece — the menu changes with the Minnesota growing season, which means the scramble in July tastes nothing like the scramble in January and both are worth ordering. The French Toast on thick house-baked bread with seasonal fruit compote is the sweet morning option that earns repeat visits. The House-Made Soups at lunch, rotating daily, draw from the same local sourcing philosophy as the breakfast menu. The Grain Bowls and Salads built around local produce make the lunch menu as compelling as the morning options. Book your Duluth hotel on Travelocity.
