The restaurant is located in The Oaks plaza in Saline, MI. As Matty J’s has been preparing to open, I’ve been watching things come together … Continue reading

If there is ever an event focused on food, count me in. I love events that bring people food lovers together. Taste of Ann Arbor annually showcases the many wonderful restaurants we are so lucky to have here in town. I think one of the coolest thing about this event is the opportunity to try … Continue reading
Bon Bon Bon–Ann Arbor
In my last post, I told you about our dinner at Ann Arbor’s newest Thai eatery, Katoi. In this post, I’ll tell you about what else you can find in this former Jerusalem Garden space on South Fifth Avenue. In the handful of square feet existing in the entrance to Ann Arbor Thai pop-up restaurant … Continue reading

This Thai eatery got its start as a successful Detroit food truck, and the owners are currently in the process of expanding into a brick and mortar … Continue reading

The interior was been completely renovated and now features much more seating than their previous location, … Continue reading
Slurping Turtle–Ann Arbor
Slurping Turtle has been open in Ann Arbor for about one year now, but I finally just made it in. Chef Takashi Yagihashi is renowed for his Chicago restaurants, and has also appeared on Food Network’s Iron Chef and Iron Chef Masters. I’ll admit I considered visiting previously (and was excited to do so), but … Continue reading
A Fresh Look at Mediterrano
Thank you all for the kind comments on our big announcement in my last post. Your kind words are appreciated! A couple weeks ago, I made a return visit to Ann Arbor’s Mediterrano restaurant for the first time since 2010. Our first and only previous dining experience was fine, and I did post a quick … Continue reading
BRAVO! Cucina Italiana–Ann Arbor
In December 2014, just a few weeks ago, BRAVO! Cucina Italiana opened their 48th restaurant, located at Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Having not even heard of this relatively small chain previously, my interest was piqued when I was invited in for lunch last month, and I gladly accepted the invitation. BRAVO! Cucina Italiana … Continue reading
