Spagnuolo's Chocolate in downtown Owosso.

Leave it to us to find the chocolate shop in town. On our way to Owosso, we saw billboards for “historic downtown Owosso.” After eating lunch at the Wrought Iron Grill, we decided to find downtown and see what the billboards were all about. On our first pass through town, we saw a little candy store that still had an “open” sign lit up. We went around the block to find a parking spot then headed back for some dessert.

Spagnuolo’s Chocolate has a tiny store front on Main Street. We parked around the corner where there is some angled parking. In front of the store, there are some parallel spots, but I didn’t realize that and the walk didn’t hurt us any.

We walked into the chocolate shop at 3:45…about fifteen minutes before they were set to close. There was one lady who was already gearing up to close. We started looking around. We saw a sign for fudge, but didn’t see any in the case. The lady noticed we looked a little lost and asked if there was anything in particular we were looking for. She pointed out the fudge in a basket behind us. It was already cut and wrapped. They only had two flavors but one of them was peanut butter. I grabbed a chunk of fudge and J kept looking.

The Wrought Iron Grill on South Elm Street in Owosso

I know it sounds stupid, but J and I just aren’t back on Eastern Time yet. We had a nice vacation that didn’t involve a lot of getting up early, but sleeping in unfamiliar beds all week really took a toll on us. We made it back to Lansing just as the storms were rolling in Friday night and J went almost right to bed. I stayed up and caught up on some Tivo’d shows. When I rolled over Saturday morning and the clock said 11:50, I have to admit, I was a little shocked. That’s not all that unusual for me, but it is for J. By the time we got up and got moving, it was a little after 1:00. We didn’t have plans today, but needed to go somewhere for lunch. J asked if there was any place I’ve been wanting to go…even if it was a little bit of a drive. I mean, we are still in vacation mode. Owosso’s not that far and there’s a restaurant just on the edge of town I’ve heard good things about.

The Wrought Iron Grill is on South Elm Street in an old warehouse that is now a mixed use building. The Wrought Iron Grill takes up the bottom floor of the front of the space. Around the corner there’s a cute looking coffee shop and there are lofts on the second floor. We pulled in a little after 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon. There were a few cars in the parking lot and one family dining on the patio so we knew we wouldn’t be the only people in the place.

We walked in the front door where we were met by a hostess. She showed us to a booth in a room that is just off the bar. She set down the “dinner” menus which was a little bit of a worry to me, but they had sandwiches, so we were ok. The hostess said the waitress would be with us in a second so we started to look over the menu. Read the rest of this entry »
