Wednesday Special--Two for 1 (posts)

In our modest and informal survey of the best tomato soups in Petoskey, we (my husband and I, at least) declare this soup from Julienne Tomatoes the winner! It is their Tomato Gorgonzola, a vegetarian selection that is one of the two Wednesday soups. It is a light creamy tomato soup with chunks of gorgonzola. I have never liked tomato soup in my life, but this one has changed my mind. Lovely!

Julienne Tomatoes also has great sandwiches--my favorites are the Grilled Ham and Brie with cranberry (*YUM*), the Cornwell's Roast Beef with creamy horseradish and provolone, and the Robyn's Reuben with coleslaw instead of saurkraut. If you have a chance, try them all! They use local ingredients whenever possible and have one of the best reputations in town. It is a great place -- go check it out!

Julienne Tomatoes

They're right! They do make great food. One of my favorites is their Grilled Honey Ham and Brie sandwich. So yummy. The inventive name is a combination of its owners: Julie Adams and Tom Sheffler. Located right downtown on Howard Street, they use as many local ingredients as they can, buying locally grown food and working with Northern Michigan food suppliers. My husband's only complaint is that they only have his favorite soup once a week! He would like to start a "Make Tomato Gorgonzola More than Once a Week" Club.
