Iconic Eats: Your 2024 Recommendations

Stuff We Love
March 9, 2024

Spring is certainly in the air, and we’re starting to think ahead to our Spring Restaurant Guide. That’s the time of year when we pull together five “iconic” dishes from across the North, the dishes that keep customers coming back again and again, snapping a dozen photos for Instagram, and telling all their friends about the best meal they’ve ever had. In past years, we’ve featured dishes like Grand Traverse Pie Company’s Cherry Crumb Pie, Art’s Tavern’s Chicken Jalapeño Soup, The Cabbage Shed’s Borscht, Mary’s Kitchen Port’s Gobbler, Farm Club’s Pozole (pictured), and Amical’s Chicken Pot Pie. (Wow, we’re getting hungry just thinking about those.) So we’re turning to you, readers, to help us find those dishes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert—what’s the best dish you’ve ever had in northern Michigan? Tell us about it at info [at] northernexpress [dot] com by March 20.
