  • Angelo’s – Ann Arbor, MI


    So for some reason I haven’t ever been to Angelo’s in Ann Arbor, even though it’s been there since 1956. I finally decided to make the trip this morning, and holy god was I not disappointed.

    The place was packed so we had to sit in the building next door.  This place gets so busy that they had to build another restaurant in an empty lot next door to accommodate their customers.  I ordered the crab cakes Benedict, which is Angelo’s home made toast, crab cakes, a poached egg, and covered in hollandaise sauce.  The crab cakes are made in house, and were absolutely delicious.  The toast is made out of their own baked bread.  This was quite possibly one of the best breakfasts I have ever had

    Angelo’s also serves lunch, and sells their bread out of the restaurant.  I would HIGHLY recommend visiting if you haven’t been before.

  • Xochimilco (Mexican Town) – Detroit, MI

    Never been to Mexican town in Detroit? Get yourself there immediately. Go to Xochimilco and Evie’s Tamales for some take home tamales. Here’s some pictures from a recent visit.

    You’re probably asking yourself what that last picture is.  It is a mexican sandwich, which is pretty much everything you can think of in a Mexican resturaunt layered between three tortillas.  Deeeeeeeelicious.

  • Review: Taco Bell Enchilada Platter

    With no other options for lunch at work the other day, I settled for one of the new Taco Bell enchilada platters.  Here’s what I got.

    Suprisingly, it wasn’t half bad.  I was expecting a small portioned pile of slop, but the food was surprisingly good.  The enchiladas are stuffed with the same spicy chicken that comes in their spicy chicken burritos, which I always order when stopping at Taco Bell.  The salsa is not great, but is an edible chunky salsa.  The beans and rice are pretty standard.

    All in all, I would summarize this meal as “surprising”.  My standards were low, and I got a pretty fulfilling meal.  I should mention that I ate one of those cheesy double beef burritos afterward, but sometimes my appetite is ridiculous.

    If you have limited options for food, give it a try.
