As the Founder of the 406 Back the Blue movement, I committed to traveling to every Montana Law Enforcement Office from Probation and Parole to U.S. Marshall's to meet and bring treats, yard signs, and bumper stickers. In my travels, I have come across some great places to eat, and be sure to look out for where they hang my 406 Back the Blue signs in their establishments to show their support for LEO'S, and I wanted to make a diary entry about it.
My Helena loves are Nagoya, teriyaki chicken, fried rice and vegetables, Panda Express spring rolls, chicken egg rolls, fried rice, and yes, teriyaki chicken. The Big Dipper milkshake which contains, chocolate ice cream, salted caramel ice cream, and a dash of their salted caramel sauce. On Broadway, spinach angel air pasta, filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes. Lakeside fried ravioli and salad with Austin's famous balsamic vinaigrette.
Missoula, The Notorious P.I.G. BBQ, get the half chicken, and gouda mac and cheese, and the burnt ends!
Anaconda, O'Bella, I suggest the garlic pizza, with extra garlic, with garlic cream sauce and get their salad wedge, go to the JFK bar and give "part-time bartender, full time Detention Officer", Jeff Miller my dear friend.
Sweet baby Jesus, Red Lodge Carbon County Steakhouse order the tenderloin and savor their bread and butter! We went to Cafe Regis, and Red Lodge Pizza Co. Skip them.
Elliston, Spotted Dog Saloon, visit their annual chili cook-off, oh my gosh, I must've had 10 different animal chili's, I was stuffed, Thanksgiving type of full.
Roundup, Busy Bee Cafe you cannot go wrong with a classic bacon and egg breakfast.
East Helena, Blackjack Burger Company poutine and their sliders, to die for!
Polson, where to start? 4B's ham steak and classic bacon and egg breakfast. The Shoe appetizer, hog wings (dry) with a simple salt, garlic and pepper seasoning, entrée, filet mignon, or chicken picatta, eat out on their leucite patio overlooking the lake. Flathead Lake Cheese right by our lakefront hotel, slept with our door open all night, our patio overlooked the lake, #Heaven here's what we bought, Ray's Pop Curds, garlic flavored of course, Buckshot gouda, if you like some heat, wisp o' smoke doorstop gouda, Galiki Gouda, is of course my favorite, roasted garlic chunks, yum!
Seeley Lake, no better place than Pop's Place for a homecooked meal, great folks.
Clancy, Chubby's Bar & Grill get the deep fried porkchop (not on a sandwich) and baked potato, delicious!
Boulder, one of my three gun range's (High Ore) is out here, and I always stop at Windsor Bar and get their steak, amazing!
That's just my noteworthy list, lots more to come, and hey don't forget, when in Montana keep your eye out for my "visual thank you" yard signs, bumper stickers, hay bale drapes, "between Helena and Townsend you can see it from the highway", a farmer asked if he could use my logo to make a massive banner to put in his pasture just by that bar, on his massive hay bales, I love driving by and seeing that tribute to LEO'S! If you're headed home from Great Falls, to Helena, as you're getting on the onramp look at the house/business just in front of you, and don't miss the 406 Back the Blue sign in the window, it's like "Where's Waldo" for the 13k members in my group, eye spy, lol.
Coming to a LEO facility near you! If you get pulled over anywhere in Montana, by any agency, look to see if they have a ride along (me) and wave, because we're allowed to do them again, finally!
Happy eats!
