ThirdCoast Digest: ‘Edible Ann Arbor’
In this ThirdCoast Digest write-up, travel writer Kevin Revolinski muses at the attitude of staff and the delicious burgers at Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger. He also gives kudos to the diversity of products available at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, the 'whimsical' atmophere of Frita Batidos, the farm-to-table experience at Grange Kitchen & Bar, the many beers on tap at Ashley's Pub, and of course Zingerman's (or 'Zingermanville, as he calls it). He mentions many other Ann Arbor institutions within the article as well: 'Everything is walking distance, it seems. From the campus art museum, to a farmer’s market, to a microbrewery, and off to dinner and a concert.' Whether you're from Ann Arbor - or looking to visit, this is a great article to read if you're wondering what you've missed - or where to start.
'...it’s not just all about food and drink in Ann Arbor. But it certainly could be. When in Ann Arbor, eat as the Ann Arborians do – very well.' ~Kevin Revolinski
