Phew! Just finished a quick 4.5 mile morning run and now I am here to tell you about a fantastic new restaurant I discovered in my last week in Madison.
My last week was super fun because Bri and I went to a million new places and did a bunch of the things that I've always wanted to do, but never got around to. For example, we took a walk in the
Arboretum together, went to the terrace to watch a hockey game and share a pitcher, and tried a ton of new restaurants.

Graze, is known for being one of the best restaurants in Madison. Their chef is constantly switching up the menu to incorporate fresh, local ingredients that they buy at the farmer's market just outside their front door on the weekends. They are located on the square and have a wall of windows so that you can look out at the beautiful capitol as you enjoy some crazy good food. You can go there for lunch, brunch, or dinner. We went their for dinner.

| Appetizer: Hot Pretzel with 3 Mustards and Cheese |
 |
| Drinks :) |
We started out sitting at the bar while we waited for our table and we each enjoyed a drink and split a hot pretzel with mustard and cheese as our appetizer. So far, we were pretty darn impressed. The mustards were yummy and the cheese (of course from WI) was amazing. The pretzel was one of the best I have ever had! Then, we sat down and ordered our dinner. I ordered the Tofu Bibimbap (tons of fresh veggies and rice with tofu in a spicy sauce and topped with a fried egg) and Bri ordered their Homemade Veggie Burger (a beet based burger). Everything was delicious. I loved my meal and Bri thought it was one of the best veggie burgers he had ever had (and this is impressive considering how many he has tried). For dessert, because we had to get dessert, we split their freshly baked Chocolate Chip Cookies with Milk. It was an adorable and comforting end to the meal. We will definitely be hitting up this restaurant in the future! If you are ever in Madison, put Graze on your list of Must-Eat-Restaurants.

The food looks great, especially that pretzel... and I think the relatives to those geese live in my neighbourhood...

Lol!
Gah! My goal was to make it to Graze the last time I was in Madison, but my friend & I got really drunk (thanks to some crazy strong 2 for 1 rum punches) and we never made it there. Boo! I must get back up there so that I can visit!
