Zingerman’s Deli Ann Arbor MI

Contemporary Lifestyle portraits can be anything right? Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of really good food. (and kids) One name stands out. Zingerman’s. Ever heard of it?  If you have, no doubt you love it. Real love, not just kinda good but unusually unique, really GOOD.  Aaaaaah Zingerman’s. DROOL  This amazing deli and restaurant is nestled in the college town of Ann Arbor Mi.  Not just food.  INC Magazine calls it “the coolest small company in America.”  An amazing success story, brain child of Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw, Zingerman’s is a Utopian example of corporate America. University MBA courses are taught using the philosophy used to establish the Zingerman’s mindset based on authentic food, unusually attentive and caring staff and an environment of American zeal.

Zingerman’s  is always on our ‘must do’ list for any trip to Michigan. This time we took the challenge: go to every Zingerman’s in a 24 hour period of time to get a free t-shirt. We gladly accepted this delicious challenge. Okay we didn’t eat at each, that would be insane but worth a try. There is the Deli, best all out deli ever, not even New York can touch it, ask the New York Times! The Roadhouse, sweet potato french fries are a must also the eggs benedict.  A pair of poached eggs served over slices of Newsom’s Kentucky country ham and grilled sourdough bread. Topped with hollandaise sauce.  DROOL, is there any wonder why I’m not thin?? Then there is the creamery, bakery and coffee house all worth the stop and stay. Have a Zang bar. Their own candy bar.  Don’t freak about the price.   One bite and you will see. Butter roasted peanuts, caramel and peanut butter honey nougat dipped in dark chocolate. Okay, yes I like the not so good for you stuff but there is a delicious world of options at Zingerman’s for vegans, vegetarians and all healthy folks.  Try the sticks and berries, my new fav.  http://www.zingermansdeli.com
