Log Home Wood Fired Pizza to be featured on America’s Best Restaurants

7-29 Aitkin Independent Age

Local eatery, Log Home Wood Fired Pizza, will host a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR), a national media and marketing company, for an
on-site visit as part of the ABR Roadshow.

America’s Best Restaurants travels the country spotlighting independent, locally-owned restaurants that make a positive impact on their communities.
During the visit, the ABR Roadshow team will highlight McGregor’s Log Home Wood Fired Pizza on camera, featuring an extensive interview with owner and chef Rick Herman
about the restaurant’s special place in the community.

After spending nearly 30 years in education, Herman decided to pursue his passion for cooking. His journey led him to discover Fire Within, a woodfired oven company
in Colorado. Intrigued by the possibilities, he and his wife Nancy attended the Wood Fired University to explore their options. Since its inception in 2014, Log Home Wood Fired Pizza has become McGregor’s original wood-fired pizza establishment, known for its family-friendly northwoods atmosphere. The restaurant continues to cater special events with its
mobile wood-fired pizza trailer, providing a unique dining experience.

Log Home Wood Fired Pizza supports initiatives such as the MERC Pizza Year-Long Scholarship Fundraiser, donations to local schools and civic organizations and engaging
with programs like the Read at Home Initiative and various events with the McGregor Chamber and 4-H.

As Rick shared, “We’re honored to be featured by America’s Best Restaurants. Our mission has always been to serve McGregor and the Minnesota Northland a distinct food
experience, traditional wood-fired pizza and other wood-fired goodness, all created with fresh ingredients and artisan craftsmanship.”
America’s Best Restaurants will be on-site at Log Home Wood Fired Pizza on July 30. The public and press are welcome to attend.

The completed episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date. The premiere date will be announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page and featured
on America’s Best Restaurants’ website and YouTube channel.
