"At about two and a half hours from Minneapolis, Russ Kendall’s might be a little far for a day trip. But if you roll out of bed early and pack fresh bagels and cream cheese, you can complete your brunch with some of the best smoked fish on the North Shore. This rustic family-owned business sells flaky smoked lake trout and brown sugar-cured salmon less than a half-mile from Lake Superior. Pro tip: Get caffeinated at Duluth Coffee Company or Dream Cloud on the way through Duluth." - Justine Jones
