Olive burger – West Michigan
Olives on burger Is quite a thing in West Michigan. Olive burger is a regular food that you can see at West Michigan food shops and restaurants. It’s a very flavorful burger that you won’t taste anywhere else but in Michigan.
These foods are just some of the amazing perks of visiting or better yet, living in Michigan. Now, who’s hungry?
Oh I love Paczkis. Now everyone is trying to replicate them, even grocery stores. I have to agree the coneys are the best!
Out of all of these, I love the wet burrito (it sounds delicious!) and the olive burger looks to die for. I’m a sucker for all olives. LOL I’ve got to try these all sometime.
I think I’ll go with Paczkis, it looks delicious and yummy. I also wanna try the Wet Burritos.
Everything looks delicious! Coney dogs are a staple but I have to try those wet burritos! They look so tasty. I’d finish off my wet burritos meal with one or two of those paczkis! Yum.
I have not tried the olive burger but I’m not a big fan of pasties or Coneys. Who knows maybe I haven’t found the right one.
I have wanted to try paczkis since I saw them on a Travel Channel show about Poland. Great to know I can find some authentic ones closer to home. I love trying the regional foods when I visit places. I’m partial to Cincinnati’s coneys (Skyline anyone?!), but the pasties look delicious. I’d love to know how a UK dish became popular in the UP. The Olive Burger also has me intrigued. It looks incredible!
Now I’m hungry! LOL I’ve tried olives on a burger, but never quite as many as the picture… Hubby went to school in the UP, so he has a hankering for pasties from time to time.
Raising my hand and shouting “Yes, I’m hungry!” I love everything in your list but I think I want to try the pasties first. Should I eat it with a hot or cold beverage? Great list.
