Great Eats in the Ann Arbor Streets

Good for your Birthday!!!

2004-12-17T14:31:00.000-08:00

It's great place to go with friends and/or family to eat as much as you want for a great low price. The trick is that you don't just order your food and have it cooked, you have to get the ingredients yourself and then watch the grillers go to work. But it could lead to disaster if you don't exactly know what you are doing, so be creative and let the chef in you live but if you aren't too sure of yourself follow the menu recipes that they have up on teh wall for convenience, its an excellent choice for a birthday party because the atmosphere is fun and upbeat.

Oodles of Noodles for Cheap!!

2004-12-17T13:53:00.000-08:00

Located at 320 South State street, right across the street from Michigan Book and Supply is the new restaurant called Noodles and Company. Not only is it fast food, but apparently its good food for your body, Now everyone knows that college students aren't the healthiest people on earth, but I think many will agree that it is very costly to maintain the diet that your parents paid for over the past eighteen or so years of your life. So here is a great substitute that you taste buds and your body will love. Not only is the food good for your body it is good for your pockets too. For under 5 bucks you could get a whole plate of noodle goodness and be satisfied and full until your next hunger attack. I personally recommend the Pesto Cavatappi with a slice of pita bread on the side. And if noodles aren't your thing they have a wide variety of salads, also very cheap. If you're gonna eat, you may as well choose something healthy and if your gonna eat healthy you may as well get it cheap.

Ann Arbor is Wild About Buffalo Wild Wings!!!!!

2004-12-06T20:14:00.000-08:00

The newest and yummiest sensation to hit State Street, is Buffalo Wild Wings!!!
Every night, since its opening a couple of weeks ago, the line for Buffalo Wild Wings has been out the door. Not only are people going to taste their delicious wings they want the atmosphere. There are over 50 TVs in the restaurant, playing any and every sport channel you can think of. Three of the TVs can be found in the men's room and the ladies' so you won't miss a minute of whatever game you are watching. They have every type of sauce you could ever dream to put on a wing, including, yes you guessed it buffalo sauce for those good ole' buffalo wings. But it doesn't end there, they have shrimp, burgers, salads, desserts, everything!!!! And yes, they have a full service bar. If you love sports, a great atmosphere, beer, and buffalo wings, I think I've found your heaven on earth, but I think most people have already had the pleasure to visit. So if you haven't, you better!!! Take a study break, a lunch break, anything, just find a reason and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I Scream, You Scream...

2004-12-04T19:04:00.000-08:00

...We all scream for Cold Stone!!!!! Yes Ladies and Gentleman, I have discovered the mother of all ice creams. This week I had the pleasure of visiting the Cold Stone Creamery, to taste decadence at its finest. Its not your typical type of ice cream either, its so delicious that I dare not refer to it as merely "ice cream" alone, it should have a name that embodies its sweet, rich and creamy taste, it should be called frozen sweet and creamy cream. Well, the name may be a little too long to say, but the idea still remains true. The frozen sweet creamy cream at the Cold Stone Creamery (say that five times fast) is by far the best ice cream in Ann Arbor and quite possibly in the world. They have a wide assortment of flavors that are homemade in their stores everyday from your classic French Vanilla to Birthday Cake flavored, even pumpkin for those more mature taste buds. But everyone will find a favorite. Not only is the ice cream good, they have a gazillion choices of toppings to suit your taste desires. Fruit toppings, candy bars, nuts, baked goods like yellow cake and brownies and so much more. You can use the creative chef in you to mix and match these toppings with whatever flavored ice cream you like, or you can take the easy and still delicious route and try a Cold Stone Original. They come in sinful flavors like, Strawberry Shortcake Serenade or Black Forest Dream. Its truly an experience, and if your watching your waistline they have something for you too.
I know it's winter but a find like this can't wait until the summer. The one on Washtenaw in the Arborland Shopping Plaza isn't far from campus so there's no reason not to go!!!!

The Substitute for Grandma's Dry Thanksgiving Turkey

2004-11-28T19:52:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year!!! It's a time to share with family and friends, all of the things that you are thankful for. Traditionally, as Americans we partake in the thanksgiving holiday by partaking in an abundance of food and drink. The candied yams, the pies and cakes, the dressing, and all the necessary fix-ins to boot. We all swim in a sea of edible delicacies that someone has spent several days preparing.

But we can't forget about the Turkey, the part of the meal that isn't Thanksgiving until its cooked, carved and served. In my family Thanksgiving is not centered around the turkey, because the poor bird that sits on our dining room table has been burned beyond recognition and is as dry as the bones upon which the "meat" sits. If this is how you describe your Thanksgiving bird, then I offer you a succulent suggestion of epic proportions. HONEY BAKED HAM!!! Yes, I said it Ham!!! And if this isn't to your liking they serve turkey as well. This store is an excellent alternative to your grandmother's dry and inedible turkey. It's a win/win situation, grandma doesn't have to cook and you get to eat something delicious, in the family's eyes your a hero!!!!

2004-11-19T13:31:00.000-08:00

PotBelly's is an excellent restaurant for those frequent sandwich cravings during the day!!!!

Oh yeah, they have great shakes and cookies too. The atmosphere has a down home feel, if you want a great sandwich, PotBelly's on State St. in Ann Arbor IS THE WAY TO GO!!! Don't ever get the Chicken Salad Sandwich from there though, its disgusting. Just a note say what to stay away from. Everything else is absolutely delicious and if you don't believe me then...just don't that means more sandwiches for me!!!! The website gives a better feel for the restaurant http://www.potbelly.com/
