(+ Black Forest Fudge)




Michigan has 3126 miles of shoreline, and about twice that many fudge shops.  Which is lucky, because when I'm baking on the sun-soaked beach, what I crave most is a trip to a steaming candy kitchen and a brick of chocolate the size of a smallish possum.

( + Coney Dogs )




There's no denying that the Coney Dog is a hot mess of a dish.  You take a hot dog and top it with a spiced ground-beef-gravy sort of sauce.  And then you layer on the mustard.  And the onions.  And if you're a bit of an iconoclast, you toss on some shredded Cheddar.  I did.  And I don't regret it one bit.  But you're going to want to double up on the napkins.
