The greater Lansing food scene is about to get a bit bigger. And even more delicious, for that matter.

Lansing has a pretty fantastic food scene as it is, but hey, the more the merrier. My stomach and I feel like there's always room for more restaurants to join the scene. Now, we have another one that's on it's way.
