Book Overview

Breakfast at the Hoito brings together a collection of stories and essays on the dreamlike world of Lake Superior's north shore ... on wilds and wildlife, people and places.

Spend a day in the kitchen of the famed Hoito Restaurant in Thunder Bay. Discover the secret life of ravens; the passions of the blueberry picker; the thrills and fears of the novice ice climber. Tour Silver Islet, an eccentric summer community that has evolved from the relics of what was once the world's richest silver mine; and the town of Schreiber, half of whose 2,000 residents trace their roots to the Italian city of Siderno. Visit a 16th-century pine forest, and meet Freda McDonald, one of Canada's most respected aboriginal elders. Accompany the author on a refreshingly candid tour of contemporary Thunder Bay.

Charles Wilkins does a great job in tackling the people, landmarks & history of Thunder Bay, ON, largest community on Lake Superior. Of particular interest are the chapters based upon the historic Finnish community, the center of which is the fabulous Labour Temple housing the famous Hoito ... the best place in town to eat, soak up history and even learn a new language.
