Roadfood writer Michael Stern took a trip through the Upper Peninsula last fall, and an article in Saveur magazine this month recalls some of his favorite things to eat here.
Excerpt: "By the shores of Gitche Gumee, by the shining Big-Sea-Water," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote in The Song of Hiawatha. We recalled that epic poem last October as we drove beside that same Big-Sea-Water—the Chippewa moniker for Lake Superior. We were wending our way up Michigan's Upper Peninsula on U.S. Highway 41 through a blaze of autumn leaves toward the highway's terminus at Copper Harbor.
Longfellow's Hiawatha came here to fast, but we had come to feast on the region's unique road foods.
The account of the whole trip is
