Every month throughout the year, we publish “Five Things to Eat and Drink,” celebrating the delicious dishes and drinks that our area provides. To recap this delicious year, here are 10 tasty features from 2018. We hope this collection will inspire you to get out there and revisit some of these delectable favorites.
1. BBQ Chicken Pizza
True North Bistro is a hidden gem inside of the Four Points by Sheraton by the Sanford Hospital. They partner with Flatland Brewery and use their beer in many of their recipes, like their BBQ chicken pizza. The BBQ sauce is made with Flatland’s Simcosis IPA, and it’s topped with charbroiled chicken breast.

2. Waakye Pizza
The Spice Grille brings a wide variety of flavor palettes to the area with their food. The Caribbean meets the Midwest with this staple meal from Guana, which consists of rice and beans, egg, stir-fried beef and mixed veggies, spaghetti, gari and coleslaw.

3. S’mores Cookie Dough
If you can’t find the time to make it out to a bonfire, have no fear. You can still enjoy all the goodness of s’mores (with no messy fire needed) thanks to Scoop N Dough’s s’mores cookie dough. Your belly will thank you, and your clothes won’t even smell like smoke!

4. Milk Maiden
This beer is a chocolate milk stout that pours a deep black with rich, tan foam. The addition of lactose sugar adds a silky, smooth body and a bit of sweetness to balance the dark roasted coffee and chocolate flavors. Try this one out at their original downtown location or swing by their new Brewhalla location further down First Avenue.

5. Szechawn Shrimp
This delectable dish may make you sweat, depending on how much you eat. Take a trip to the coast with this marinated shrimp on a bed of vegetables with jasmine rice in the middle, which makes it delightful, yet spicy

6. Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Mocha
With house-made whipped creme on top, this hot beverage is packed with blackberry, lavender and white chocolate flavors. The sweet richness of the white chocolate paired with the herbaceous lavender notes provide for a unique caffeinated experience.
604 Main Ave., Fargo
7. Beef Brisket Plate
It is hard to beat the classic comfort of BBQ. Jay’s Smokin’ BBQ’s smoked beef brisket is served up with no other than a side of homemade coleslaw and mac and cheese. We think this is a perfect comfort food for a summer day or a great way to warm up your insides on a winter night.
420 Center Ave. #11, Moorhead
8. Matcha Red Bean Crepe
Need a sweet treat after dinner? Check out this crepe with matcha green tea ice cream, strawberries, chocolate drizzle and almonds on top. If anything, this concoction is gorgeous to look at and equally as gorgeous to eat.

9. Poke Bowl
Say aloha to Poke Bowl, a build-your-own Hawaiian eating experience that came to Downtown Fargo this year. Build your own bowl with choices of bases ranging from Ahi Poke to Spicy Mayo Salmon, and finish it off with toppings like edamame, avocado or seaweed. Don’t forget to check out the new Wasabi location located inside, as well for a two-for-one!
560 2nd Ave. N., Fargo
10. Bloody Mary Bar
Every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pounds hosts their weekly Bloody Mary bar. Stop by to make your own masterpiece with the various food options they provide. Any topping imaginable is offered, including pickled and fresh veggies, pizza, fried foods and grilled cheeses. Just make sure to provide stability and not make your concoction too top-heavy!
