Ann Arbor's Foodie Nation

"I sacrifice to no god save myself. And to my belly, greatest of deities."   
--Euripides

Zingerman's crusty farmhouse bread.
A ginger martini before Eve's macadamia encrusted salmon.
Oaxacan Short Ribs at Logan.
Clam Chowder from Monahan's fish market.
Cumin-flavored cheese from Morgan & York.

These are just a few of things that make you go "Yum" in Ann Arbor.

Beyond its ivory towers, championship football and high-tech start-ups, Ann Arbor is developing a reputation for gourmet cuisine. Rich in flavor and tradition, handmade foodstuffs can be found from one end of town to the other. Whether it's the high-end sweets of Cake Nouveau, the locally grown offerings at Produce Station, the smoked fish at Durham's or any of a dozen highly regarded downtown restaurants, this college town is quickly becoming both urban and urbane.
