A Michigan back roads day trip to southeast can easily turn into Michigan back roads getaway. Unusual and interesting destinations are all around. Major cities share Michigan history with nearby small towns. This region is south of Clare and east of I-75 and includes getaways to the "thumb".
Good Food listings are places that we will return to again and again because their food is consistently GREAT. Being good once or twice isn't enough and it isn't enough to be part of a modern trend or the latest thing. Some of these places have a specialty that is the best and that is enough even if the rest of menu is just okay.
