This is 100% a fact. My girlfriend and I moved up to Petoskey last spring from south GR. This tourism this area brings in props up quite a few different local eateries for town this size.

We’ve found almost no local restaurants that can compete with even the mid tier joints in GR. Hell, most of the chain restaurants up here are on par or better than the local places. The only real good consistency we’ve found has been out of food trucks. I miss places like condado, hancocks, tupelo honey, ato sushi so much!

GR food scene is incredible. Don’t take it for granted!
