If you seek a beautiful peninsula, look about you! Doreen Lawrence and Suzie Martin, lifelong Michiganders, are delighted to share photos and information about their favorite state in a daily format.
The restaurant of choice in Ontonagon in the western UP is Syl's Café where they serve a delicious breakfast all day. They are grilling ribs for Father's Day today and many people claim they serve the best pasties in the world. This month mark's their 40th year in business and we wish them continued success. Wishing all you dads a wonderful day filled with family and good food!
My, oh my! If you are ever in Rockland, just east of Ontonagon in the UP, treat yourself to a delicious meal at Henry's Inn. The building's history goes back to 1890 (molded tin ceilings and unique architecture) and the pasty special on Thursday is outstanding. It is served with some great homemade cole slaw and we washed it all down with a brand of root beer called 1919 which is pretty popular with the Yoopers and not available to trolls (those who live below the bridge). They actually brew this root beer the old-fashioned way and do not use high fructose corn syrup. Two thumbs up!
