Red Lobster and Olive Garden might be packed with out-of-towners, but locals know Michigan’s real food scene is all about fresh-caught fish, family-run Italian joints, and late-night Korean eats. After years of taste-testing across the state, I’ve learned to skip the chains and head straight for places like Slows Bar B-Q in Detroit, Mudgie’s Deli for epic sandwiches, and Dearborn Meat Market for unbeatable grilled kebabs. Even the Upper Peninsula has a taqueria worth the drive! Where do you take out-of-town guests for a true Michigan meal?
