As I always do I began to research the restaurants that are available in the city that I am visiting. To my surprise Michigan had 2 of my "top 20 burger places". Unfortunately only 1 was open on Sundays. This is Sidetrack Bar and Grill in Ypsilanti. I landed in Detroit, immediately drove my dinky little Yaris to Ypsilanti (probably should have gotten insurance). Needless to say, I slid twice on the road and my anti-lock brakes came on every 5 minutes. But I was NOT going to miss out on knocking out another burger from my list.
It was snowing when I got there. Apparently I caught the tail end of one of the worst snow storms that Ypsilanti had seen in years. However, it wasn't that bad compared to Seoul.
The inside decor. Seemed like a really friendly local venue. Incredibly large beer selection available.
The glorious "Our Famous Burger" cooked medium rare, with tomato, mayo, lettuce, onions, cheddar cheese, ketchup mustard. Double fried french fries with skin. I had called it in on my way to Ypsilanti. Thankfully the fries were still warm when I picked them up.
CLOSE UP!!! (by the time I got to the hotel, the cheese was frozen... )
Totally worth risking my life for this burger. Only 15 more to go on my list!
My rental for Ann Arbor. Kind of missing my huge Dodge Ram rental in Dallas.
