Geo and Lisa have set out on an adventure... to boldly venture forth to places we have never gone before... to unearth what had previously been to us, a hidden food culture in the city we call home, Spokane. Without a doubt, it is truly a pleasure to taste the many wonderful flavors of the world that lay hidden like treasure in the kitchens of small business owners in nearby neighborhoods until their presence upon the menu catches our eye. Our quest was not to to find the best or the worst... but to try something new, to make new friends and acquaintances and to discover for ourselves more of what life in Spokane is like and what our community has to offer in way of culinary experiences.

The inspiration to embark on such a journey came after several dinner outings where we realized that there were many ethnic foods and extremely nice people who owned restaurants in Spokane. Having found this to be quite remarkable, we simply decided to broaden our horizon, to boldly go where we had never gone before, and keep a log of where we had been, what we ate and what we experienced while we were there.

With time to spend together around the dinner hour and a little lunch money in our pockets that we could give to our community in a "support your local business" type fof way, we began our food trekking journey in and around the city, and even venture out from time to time. It has become our quest, our journey... perhaps even our weird obsession, but whatever it is, whatever you think it may be, it is done with a spirit of adventure, one that we now take with us, everywhere, and wherever we go...

This is Lisa's blog... and THIS is Tasty Trek. This is our story.

Blu Berry

Popular in Spokane right now is going out on the town for a dessert treat of frozen yogurt, at least it must be. There are frozen yogurt shops popping up everywhere. The most recent I have personally seen is Blu Berry Frozen Yogurt. This one is located on Division and Francis in the Northtown Square Shopping Center, and is easy to find because of the Red Lobster restaurant on the corner.

Blue Berry is an attractive spot, decorated in a lovely hue of mostly blue... but raspberry too. It's surprisingly very much like the other frozen yogurt places around town that we like to visit, and yet it is different. I would have thought they were all owned by the same entity because of the similarities, (I am getting used to the look of small squares of tile, ) but they are not. I asked. One nice feature here at the Blu Berry is a lovely fireplace to warm yourself when you come in from the cold... to eat your cold Yo Cream treat!

They have a wall of frozen yogurt spouts from which to try their flavors and serve yourself you favorite flavors.

In order to really enjoy places like this, one must overcome fears of sticky fingers.....

We have some fears of sticky fingers...so we appreciate attentive attendants and watchful parents who read and acknowledge signs like this one here. We also love frozen yogurt and love the freedom to try all the new flavors too, so we kinda love all the FROYO options we see around town.

They had a lot of toppings to choose from but I am a bit of a "purist, " no toppings for me on my selection of chocolate, peanut butter and coffee flavored Yo Cream. Geo makes up for a lack of toppings on mine by putting a lot of toppings on his.

I have to say too, that he was a little disappointed. With all the toppings they did offer, they didn't have almonds. Specifically, he likes it when places offer the chocolate covered almonds, but here he found no almonds at all.

there were lots of other things though, and he did find some things he likes.
