Bonnie’s Place – Lansing, MI
Bonnie’s Place is a bar (there’s really no other description for it) in Lansing, MI, just off the campus of Michigan State. I was in Detroit on business and realized that if I left the office by 5:00 pm, I could make it to Elderly Instruments, over in Lansing, for an hour or so before […]
Krazy Jim’s Blimpie Burger – Ann Arbor, MI
After Motz’s, I don’t know that I could have a BETTER burger, but I still had two hours before I flew home, so I definitely could have a DIFFERENT burger. Combining a map, where I was, and the Hamburger America app, I realized that I could make it to Ann Arbor in time for a […]

Hunter House Hamburgers – Birmingham, MI

Carter’s Hamburgers – Dearborn, MI

Miller’s Bar – Dearborn, MI
I had the opportunity to be in Detroit, exploring an opportunity and with some time to kill before I had to catch a plane, I realized that I had a chance to get to Miller’s Bar in Dearborn. The sign on the left is actually the outside wall, facing the cross street. Inside, it is […]
