You’ll need a little more space if you come to The Vermillion Club to tackle its infamous - and popular - Bamboozler.
RiceWP/TripAdvisor The Bamboozler is a 24-inch pizza, which means it’s about the same diameter as the trunk of a mature red pine tree.
In fact, The Vermillion Club doesn’t skimp on any of its portions. Its ribeye is as big as your head.

If you get the walleye, you’ll envy the angler who caught the beast that supplied the fillets.

If you manage to conquer the Bamboozler - or any of the restaurant’s dishes, for that matter - be sure to treat yourself to some well-deserved merch.
