Could You Complete Lansing’s First-Ever Frandor Challenge?
I'm not one to shy away from a challenge. And I always love supporting my local Lansing businesses whenever I can. That's why the very first Frandor Challenge is right up my alley.
It turns out, until recently, there was no Frandor Challenge. Which is weird, because there are so many local and chain eateries located within Frandor.

So that's why Mike Ellis of City Pulse decided to create the very first Frandor Challenge! The goal of the challenge is to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Frandor restaurants.
What Exactly Is the Frandor Challenge?
Now, you don't have to complete the challenge in a day, although you would achieve pro status by doing that. But, if you complete the Frandor Challenge in a week, you can consider it done!
Mike also says if you want to make it "pro-level", you can do three square meals, PLUS a dessert, coffee, or other stop.

Mike completed the Frandor Challenge the pro-level way, by eating all three meals in one day, plus getting a fun beverage. He got breakfast at Sparty's Coney Island, Lunch at King of the Grill, and dinner & a drink at Bento Kitchen Cravings.
