Nestled into the charming fish town area of Leland, the smoked fish is among the best I've ever had. So far, I've only tried the smoked whitefish, but have some trout too that I can't wait to break into!! The whitefish with fresh bread, cheese, veggies, butter, wine... so so so good and what up north dreams are made of. Already regretting not getting a bunch more to load up in my freezer...

They do not sell them at front porch or Hansen's, quelle bummer. 40c each is kinda lame, I miss 3 for a dollar or two for 50c. Can't blame them for needing to make the mulah though. Nice salespeople, especially since they lent me 2 pennies to buy a mint with the state of Michigan stamped in it (very tasty, highly recommend).

She knew the amounts and recommended some awesome dishes. Not only was her food delicious, it was presented beautifully or should I say deliciously. We asked for soup and salad to meet the needs of several family members. She will even take your favorite recipe and prepare it with her flourishes. Three soups included a vegetarian mushroom soup, chicken Chilli, and a beef stew that was astounding. Jill roasted the beef before adding it to this marvelous stew. I really do not know her secret, but guests could not get enough of it. The soups had wonderful homemade garnishes as well. The big green salad was a work of art and included two homemade dressings. If you can get on their busy schedule with your catering event, grab the date. You won't be disappointed.

We ordered one of the many delicious sandwiches on the menu. I chose the Chimp Boy Gravel Pants. Roasted turkey, sundried tomatoes, pesto, blue cheese, provolone, Italian dressing, stuffed in a ciabatta sub- AMAZING. That will be forever in my heart. Made with love.
