A Bite of the North: The Brick Submitted: 12/13/2012

LAKE TOMAHAWK - The restaurant business is often called a labor of love.

For a couple in Lake Tomahawk, love is what makes their restaurant work.

Owners Wes and Tracy Harmon say their marriage of 24 years keeps The Brick running not just smoothly, but phenomenally.

Tracy runs the front of the house, where she's known as the "hugging hostess."

Wes is in charge of the kitchen, where he keeps it anything but typical by bringing touches of Cajun and Cuban to the Northwoods.

Customer favorites include a tuna tower and shrimp mignon.
