BD'S MONGOLIAN BBQ
Yeah Yeah, I know it is technically a chain. BD's rocks and it's their best location in my opinion. A bunch of us have been going to this Ann Arbor BD's for years. If you've never been, it's simple. Picture a salad bar where you fill your bowl with meat, chicken or poultry, veggie and toppings, spices and sauces. Then you bring it to a stone grill and they cook it for you. It's a ton of fun! Count me in for at least two bowls. Shhh...maybe three!

Mac's Acadian Seafood Grill
It's a hidden little place where the locals like to go. On the way to the track from the Ann Arbor area it's in the small town of Saline, Michigan. There isn't much signage so keep your eye out for it.
Mac's has gourmet seafood in a casual setting at reasonable prices. I'm telling you, this place is awesome. Wood grilled fish... how can you go wrong?

Zingerman's Roadhouse
This is a pretty colorful place! Care about the source of your food? This is your place. Much of the menu comes from local farms. From spicy spanish onion rings, burgers and bbq to vegetarian dishes... the Roadhouse is a unique Michigan food stop!

Angelo's
This is your Ann Arbor spot for breakfast! It's a popular place for the Wolverine students and locals alike. Fresh baked breads make the lunch sandwiches a treat, but its the french toast, egg specials and waffles that make me go mmmm.

Brecon Grille
Another good spot in the little town of Saline, Michigan. This one is more traditional fare... burgers and sandwiches highlight the menu of this English-style bar and grill. They are well known for their seafood chowder as well.

Wants a good pastry in the morning on the way to the track? This is your place. Everyone has a sweet tooth! Right? Hey, do NOT overlook one of their most popular items though, homemade soft pretzels. We love em! Get a bag to bring to the track. Mmmmmm.

Sidetrack
In a small little downtown village of Ypsilanti, Michigan sites a pretty darn cool spot. Friend of Speedeats, NASCAR.com's Justin Oppman, showed us "Sidetrack." Located across the street from a Hudson car museum, Sidetrack is now one of our favorite spots. Who can beat their burgers, sweet potato fries and creative menu? The burgers are handcrafted and delicious. They have a great beer selection as well. We suggest sitting outside in their unique ivy covered patio that gives you a great view of the museum and street.
