Video Ann Arbor’s Foodie Nation
La Rochefoucauld once said, “To eat is a necessity, to eat intelligently is an art.” Leave it to a university town to embrace the genius of food. From Zingerman’s to Eve, Durham’s smoked fish to Morgan & York’s artisanal cheeses, the farmer’s market to Main Street’s restaurant row, just thinking about Ann Arbor and is enough to make your mouth water.
“I sacrifice to no god save myself. And to my belly, greatest of deities.”
–Euripides

These are just a few of things that make you go “Yum” in Ann Arbor.
Beyond its ivory towers, championship football and high-tech start-ups, Ann Arbor is developing a reputation for gourmet cuisine. Rich in flavor and tradition, handmade foodstuffs can be found from one end of town to the other. Whether it’s the high-end sweets of Cake Nouveau, the locally grown offerings at Produce Station, the smoked fish at Durham’s or any of a dozen highly regarded downtown restaurants, this college town is quickly becoming both urban and urbane.
