34 | September/October 2017 SPONSORED BY Road Trips eatdrink.ca |@eatdrinkmag The Bounty of Huron County Ten Favourite Culinary Stops By JANE ANTONIAK September is a brilliant time for culinary travel in Huron County. The earth has been warmed by the summer, the harvest of root vegetables is in full swing, the lake is the perfect temperature for swimming and the beach crowds have thinned. Eatdrink writers and photographers have been road-tripping across Huron for nearly all of our ten years. While it’s impossible to sum up Huron in a list of ten, here are some of our favourite foodie stops, in no particular order. Hessenland Inn & Vineyard, Zurich Black Dog Village Pub & Bistro in Bayfield is the place to kick back while enjoying much more than a traditional pub menu. The offerings includes Ontario confit duck wings, local herbed mushrooms on toast with Quebec triple crème brie, and incredible burgers with a variety of cheeses. With an in-house baker and a culinary team led by cookbook author Kathleen Sloan-McIntosh, the food is not to be missed. Nor is the impressive selection of local and imported beers on tap. For winter, hit the whisky list. Then spend the night somewhere within in walking distance, such as The Little Inn. Zehr’s Country Market offers another kind of bakery experience, including outstanding fruit pies and Chelsea buns, making this a must-stop, south of Bayfield. Go early for pies, especially on holiday weekends. The shop also has great cheeses, smoked pork chops, and other meats. For us, though, it’s the pies and buns! Closed on Sundays. Metzger Meat Products — Winners of the Traditional Side Bacon award from Ontario Finest Meats numerous times, Gerhard and Heike Metzger run a superior, three-generation, German butcher shop in the tiny village of Hensall. With on-site smokers, expert butchery and natural ingredients, this is a must-experience for carnivores. Hessenland Inn on Highway 21 between Grand Bend and Bayfield is a special occasion venue for weddings and other events. It is also home to a burgeoning vineyard, the passion of chef/owner Frank Ihrig. He and Liz Ihrig are the second-generation operators of this immaculate site, which includes five acres of gardens. The chef’s table kitchen dinner with wine pairings is a special treat. Or experience dinner at one of the summer or fall vineyard events. The care and craftsmanship of the kitchen, and the Inn’s hospitality are a winning pairing. Culbert’s Bakery in Goderich is just off the square (which really is a circle) and is operated by Darin Culbert. Culbert is one of a long line Lake Huron sunsets are spectacular, all year round.
