This blog is about many things, there are a lot of other things about this blog that you might not have known about. EDIT: header.php
Opening football weekend = great food in Michigan. Game on! (pretty good pizza at Sgt. Pepperoni’s in midtown Detroit, truly amazing Memphis Mac ‘n Cheese with great sauce, pulled pork, and of course bacon at Zingermans Roadhouse in Ann Arbor… Life is very, very good.)
A trip back to Mayberry for the “Hot Meal of the Day”- ham and (feta) cheese with caramelized onions and wilted spinach on multigrain. Pretty good, but somehow slightly less than the sum of its parts. Co-worker ordered the burger. I was jealous. (Mayberry, Vine St. downtown)
Well, it’s a first in my life, as far as I can tell: I finished a menu! In this case, the sandwich menu at “my cafeteria,” Wicked ‘Wich downtown. I wrapped it up with the chicken barbecue. As their sandwiches go, it was just middling (I think they fussed with the chicken a bit much), but it’s a tremendous survey of American deli sandwichery. Highlights have been their excellent southwest chicken (bold and flavorful) and their surprising meatloaf sandwich. Now that I’ve batted the cycle, I actually have the freedom to revisit some favorites! (chicken BBQ sandwich with cranberry slaw, Wicked ‘Wich, downtown)
It shouldn’t have been great, and it wasn’t. Shame on me. But get the cannoli- it’s tremendous! But probably unhealthy. (pork pasta special, Capri tavola calda, Walnut/5th, downtown)
Bucking my “pita history,” my trip to Mythos results in a curious order: Greek spaghetti. As it turns out, a bit of a meatier version of Cincinnati chili with more focus on seasonings vs. cheese. Surprisingly nice! (Greek spaghetti, Mythos on 4th/5th and Main/Walnut)
P.s. They have Mello Yello on tap now!
