If you know me, you know I love food.

There are so many fantastic places to dine across Montana, and it doesn't matter what you're into, you'll find a favorite spot somewhere under the Big Sky. As a foodie, there isn't much I won't try. While I love the classic diner dishes from a local mom-and-pop-run place, I'm also a fan of a fancy dinner served with multiple pieces of silverware.

Luckily, I can easily find both here in the Treasure State.
