Out-of-towners, locals, transplants... there are certain things that everyone should eat at least once, particularly because Michigan-made foods are so yummy.
The Best Michigan-Made Food and Drink
It's not just specific products either. There are certain styles of food so synonymous with the Mitten state that they go hand in hand. Like, if someone were visiting Michigan for the first time, these would be the foods and drinks I would include in a welcome gift basket.
Sander's Bumpy Cake
This moist chocolate cake topped with "bumps" of vanilla buttercream and covered with fudge originated in Detroit, and now, over 100 years later, it's still as popular as ever. Although, it might be in short supply.
Rock & Rye Faygo
If you want a refreshing pop (get out of here with that soda nonsense), Faygo's classic Rock & Rye is the superior flavor. This flavor is so iconic, Michigan eatery Browndog Creamery created an ice cream inspired and flavored by it!
Coney Dogs
When we say coney in Michigan, we're talking about coney dogs. An all-beef dog in a natural casing, in a (preferably steamed) bun, covered in Detroit or Flint-style chili, and topped with mustard and diced, raw onions.
Vernors Ginger Ale
Vernors, the cure for what ales ya. If you were ever home sick in Michigan, chances are you were given some Vernors with your chicken noodle soup, all while you watched The Price is Right.
Cherries
Traverse City, Michigan is known for its cherries. You've got to try them!
Better Made Potato Chips
These have to be the best potato chips ever. The best crunch and salt ratio.
Detroit-style Pizza
Detroit-style pizza has a chokehold on me. The dough is so soft and fluffy, yet so crunchy along the edge. It's perfect for all the toppings!
