Your source for eating (and drinking!) locally in West Michigan
Last Sunday, the husband and I wanted to go somewhere different for breakfast. “Have we been to Wolfgang’s?” I asked. I’d heard about it but couldn’t quite remember where it was. “Yes,” he said. “We haven’t been there in awhile. Let’s go! They have a lot of meat. It’s like the opposite of Gaia’s.”
About a month ago I had lunch at six.one.six as part of a culinary tour of West Michigan. Six.one.six is one of those restaurants that is known locally as being locally-sourced and seasonal, so it’s surprising that it’s taken me this long to try it out.
This week’s Eat Local Challenge from Local First is to explore local honey. Those who have tried raw, local honey will never buy the bear again! But where to find it?
A few weeks ago, Bisera contacted me wondering if I’d like to review her nuts. With flavors like hot curry and coffee I was intrigued. After tasting them, I was not disappointed.
I’m starting to see advertisements for county fairs. Even though I haven’t been to one in years, I always fondly remember the food: Elephant ears, caramel apples, and, of course, cotton candy.
Using sandwich as an art form, how would you embody all that is Grand Rapids? Local businesses are rising to that challenge, and you can help decide which creation gets exclusive rights to being “the official sandwich of Grand Rapids.”
I’ve been hearing good things about Reserve for awhile now. Since I love wine and keep reading about charcuterie in the foodie world, the husband and I decided to try it out for an impromptu date night.
This was my second visit to Amore, the first was a few months ago for a Slow Food West Michigan Potawatomi Convivium meeting. When I saw on FaceBook that they were featuring soft-shell crabs and Michigan asparagus, I talked my husband into heading out last Friday.
A few weeks ago, my friends Donielle and Katie and I were invited to a networking event at The Melting Pot. What did we three local food bloggers think of it?
A funny thing happened on the way to meet my friend Jolon from SavvyChic Savings for lunch. She asked where we could meet, and I said “well, I SHOULD pick somewhere new so I can blog about it, but I really want to go to The Green Well.” Turns out, though, I HADN’T reviewed it yet! Must be one of those things I just meant to do but didn’t, so I’m going to rectify that.
