"Everything you ever wanted to know about our little cafe on Lake Superior’s remote North Shore.
In addition to providing recipes and cooking instructions, the Angry Trout Cafe Notebook tells the story of how and why the Angry Trout Cafe,
its neighborhood, and its recipes have come to be – why our napkins are provocatively small, why we serve chicken raised on small family farms, why we don’t serve Chilean seabass, and why Coke and Pepsi icons are conspicuously absent from our premises."
