Meaty Hippie Hash

M e a t y H i p p i e H a s h

We (Aditi & Siddhartha) enjoy being adventurous about our food and were born to try out every kind that exists. Along the way, we both felt the need for a list, of all the food joints that we have already tried out and also the ones that we are yet to explore. This list is in no way a systematic study of the restaurants around. We have simply put down names of all the places that we have been to, and others that we have heard of from various sources (friends, newspapers, websites).

M e a t y H i p p i e H a s h
We have named this page after our favourite breakfast item, served 24 hours, at Fleetwood Diner, a tiny little shack on Ashley, Ann Arbor.

Disclaimer: We have included restaurants of personal interest. This page is simply for ready reference to help other food lovers like us (We are not related to the managements of the listed restaurants in any way :-) ).
