Little's Cafe in Madison has made a reputation for itself as being not so... little. Big portions, big appetites and big expectations.



After walking through a cloud of smoke rolling off the grill, I stopped inside with my friend Whitney. I took a quick look at the menu and easily settled on the pulled pork mac & cheese.



This dish had a pile of mac & cheese that was on the cool side, but a giant heaping helping of pulled pork drizzled in BBQ. Flavor was OK. Proportions were a bit off though - and it was all the same texture. Some crunchy green onion would have taken this over the top.

Gourmet Granny is based in Madison, but you can often find her at vendor shows around the region.



Her signature is caramel apples made with Granny Smith apples in a variety of specialty flavors.



But she also sells chocolate-covered pretzels, turtles and other goodies.   



My friend Beth and I stopped by during an adventure. 



These little chocolate-covered pretzels were delish. I snacked on these for days, and they were the perfect little sweet treat. 



But my favorite were these little turtles that were filled with white chocolate and caramel and so tasty.



My apple, too, of course, was great. These are very sweet treats that make great gifts or just something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
