    allow me to amend my statement, they were the only regional franchise that offered crinkle cut fries for a pretty decent period of time

    I'm not sure whether to argue or not argue. On one hand, Runza has been around since like the 50s and Culver's only since the mid-80s, so I guess you're factually accurate. On the other hand, you smell like farts.

    It's mostly chains out there, but they do have a Jungle Jims. Top notch beer, hot sauces, and international foods. It's a grocery though, no hot meals.

    You have Donatos which puts 5x too many toppings on the pizza, and LaRosa's which is just frozen pizza that they take the liberty of baking it for you.

    It was when I stopped working over there two years ago. Yeah Great Scot was good, that's where used to take people that would come in from out of town if we didn't want to go all the way downtown or over to Kenwood.

    Four weeks is a while. Not sure about your budget, but if you are looking to get away from the chains/mall restaurants at Eastgate, there is a pretty good place off of the Milford/50 exit called 20 Brix. You have to wind your way through the movie theater/chain restaurants to get into the old section of Milford to get to it. It's a couple of exits west of where you are on I-275.

    Loveland and Montgomery have a lot of restaurants that are pretty good. You are looking at everything from the $15-45 range there (or higher), basic restaurants to high end steakhouses.

    Ate at the old school knights in Ann Arbor last night. Aside from the um crap on the walls, I fucking love that place.

    The one downtown is solid as well, just slightly fancier.

    That sounds terrific, until they add cinnamon and poor the beer over pasta.

    I'm just kidding, it sounds lovely.

    Fancy here's my Zombie Dust update....

    It cannot be found anywhere. Called the local place I thought had it (listed on 3 Floyds distribution site) and they said they will maybe get like six bottles TOTAL a month. And when they do get them they only sell one bottle per customer.

    Called a few other places and they pretty much told me the same thing. The one liquor store owner said that if you aren't a store owner in parts of Indiana or Chicago then the stuff is basically a unicorn.

    I wanna die.

    Maybe this is my general ill will with respect to 3 Floyds making what they want instead of what their customers want, but it's not fairy blood. It's good, but I wouldn't kill myself looking for it.

    I found some at a bar in Bloomington the last time the Gophers played IU. I didn't even know about it and just asked the bartender for a recommendation of something I couldn't find in MN. He said, "we just got a keg of Zombie Dust. We rarely have it and when we do it sells out the same night." It was marvelous and true to his word it was cashed by the end of the night.
