Up North Classics
You know the places. You return to them year after year because summer isn't summer unless you get a hit of their "world famous" burger, whitefish sandwich, pan-fried walleye or fresh raspberry pie. These beloved eateries are all over Northern Michigan--out in the woods, down winding country roads, along the waterfront, on the main streets of our small towns--housed in 19th-century saloons, railway stations, funky log cabins and rustic shacks. The menus rarely change. They're unvarnished, un-pretentious Up North--just like you remember them.
This overview of northern Michigan's classic eating establishments focuses on those Up North restaurants that seem to remain unchanged through time. It's an ode to those things that are timeless, authentic and delicious.This article first appeared in the July 2005 issue of Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine.
