35. Sandwich of Your Dreams
There’s something to the name. Our art associate Kelly Nogoski still rhapsodizes about the cabin fever cure she found last February: a walk on the Frankfort beach and this delicious turkey sandwich. It’s warm and toasty with sautéed mushrooms and onions, melted provolone, shredded lettuce, tomato, banana peppers and a li’l mayo.
Dinghy’s, 415 Main St., Frankfort, 231-352-4702
36. Derby Bars
Baker and former Kentuckian Bob Korten tweaked the classic Derby pie into a dense brownie amalgam with chocolate chips, pecans and a glossy bourbon caramel.
Crescent Bakery, 404 Main St., Frankfort, 231-352-4611
37. Eurodog
A clever little portable lunch—a locally made hot dog is slipped in a toasted baguette with chili, cheese, onions and a creamy, lightly spiced Euro sauce.
Eurostop, 620 Railroad Place, Traverse City, 231-421-1168
38. Vegetable Empanadas
Sweet smoky vegetables in a rich pastry pocket balance with the fresh bite of poblano pepper salsa and refreshing greens.
El Dorado, 149 E. Front St., Traverse City, 231-421-3228
39. Vegetarian Nachos
Healthy comfort food: a TVP nacho “meat” on crunchy corn chips with sharp cheddar. And all the fixins? Ripe, crunchy and organic.
Plaza Café, 110 N James St., Ludington, 231-845-7600
40. Buffalo Meatloaf
Chef Dino achieves moist and marvelous with his grilled version of the Midwestern classic and serves it with a rich garlic demi glace.
Old State Roadhouse, Boyne City 273 Old State Rd., Boyne City, 231-582-7702
41. Nuts and Berries
A two-bite sconette made with T.C. cherries and Grape-Nuts is a modestly delicious pick-me-up, especially when paired with an impeccably steamed cappuccino.
Morsels, 104 Cass St., Traverse City, 231-421-1353
42. Gabriel Pizza
Yes, their craft beer rules. So, too, their craft pizza. Jalapeños add a devilish edge to the smoky-sweet ham and pineapple pie.
Short’s Brewing Company, 121 N. Bridge St., Bellaire, 231-533-6622

Ref. classic eats--- How about "Dam Site Inn in Pelston for chicken" The BEST!!!
Also the atmosphire in the summer is 100% "up-north". Probably dosen't qualify as 2009 yet but it will as usual.
The very best, homemade lemon cupcakes with real lemon curd in the middle. Riverfront Pizza & Specialties, On the Crystal River in Glen Arbor, MI.
Benjamin Twiggs Cherry Salsa is the best! A must have. Just the right amount of salsa-kick for me!
