You missed a couple of must-eats in GR, specifically East Town. For breakfast, Wolfgang’s is a must. And Yesterdog for lunch or after the bar is heavenly. Give them a shot next time you’re up there.
As weird as this sounds, I don’t really like hot dogs. I’ve actually stood outside at Yesterdog before thinking I have to suck it up and just try it. Still haven’t.
As for Wolfgang’s, I’m not usually in town for breakfast. Some of my co-workers rave about the place though and I should find a reason to be in the area for breakfast someday.
Little Africa on Fulton near Diamond is Ethiopian food I’ve been known to make the drive for, alone.
Wyoming, MI has a gem on Division called India House; the owner was kind. The food was amazingly fresh. We were visiting relatives and ordered take-out in the evening to feed the family…fabulous.

I just discovered the article which you wrote regarding The Lunch Pail in Fremont, Mi.
I am one of the co owners there, and would like to thank you so much for your kind words. It feels awesome when we hear good feedback. It makes us happy! Thanks again.
