Some positive food notes from Michigan

Lest I seem too dour about the food I’ve encountered during my stay here in Michigan, I’d like to point out that there have been some highlights.

Lowell township does have one reasonably fancy joint, “The Flat River Grill”, which serves tasty and colorful food, wine, &c.

The more commonplace local cuisine, can be good enough to make its characteristic beige color seem like a benefit. I enjoyed the hot turkey sandwich that can be seen at the top of this post. The Backwater Café also bakes their own bread. Fresh bread is never a bad thing, right?

I would like to do less eating-out and more cooking at home, but given the hours we work on location that can be difficult. Luckily, this coming Monday, I won’t have to cook or eat at all.

Today’s lunch: for those of you who thought Koko’s chicken looked tasty

I present to you the Backwater Café’s hot turkey sandwich:

From this small sample size of local food photos, one would think Lowell, Michigan, is all about beige-colored carbohydrates.1 Will a larger sample size prove otherwise? Stay tuned, I’ve a couple more months here.


  1. for the record, the food’s generally pretty tasty []

A trip to get BBQ, in style, in Texas

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
I went on a trip with David in his Lotus to get some BBQ for lunch. I’d written a magnum opus on the journey and this iPhone multiple-photo email app crashed while sending, and I don’t feel like retyping it all. So here’s an executive summary:
 
We drove to Rudy’s Country Store And BBQ, taking turns marked 30 at 80. That car corners so well it seems almost a safe thing to do. We ate a bunch of meat on white bread. It was good. We drove home to find the cat basking in a beam of light. Cute.
