Some of the things that make it so wonderful are the different kinds of foods.

Pure Michigan Foods

Michigan is proud to be home to some signature items...

  • Detroit-style pizza
  • Cherries and everything you can make with them
  • Craft Beer
  • Mackinac Island Fudge

And while these items and many more are truly beloved by many a Michigander, there are some that don't care for these popular items.

Just because you're from Michigan doesn't mean that you have to like everything that comes out of it.

Despite the fact that Zehnder's of Frankenmuth recently made a global list for being one of the "most legendary" restaurants in the world, people still think Zehnder's world-famous fried chicken is over rated and over priced.

2. Pasties

Vernors might be America's oldest soft drink, but that doesn't mean that everyone enjoys the very fizzy and ginger nature that is Vernors.
