Doud's is a small market, but it has lots of stuff. As far as I know, this is one of the only markets on Mackinac Island. There actually is another Doud's down Main Street toward the ferry area, but it's a smaller grab-and-go convenience store, mostly with snacks and coffee. My hotel was right across the street, so I bopped into Doud's a couple of times during my stay, to grab a bottle of wine (they have a decent selection of wine), some candy for my kids, and some fruit because I needed to eat something fresh. The store is tidy and everything is arranged nicely. They also have self-checkout kiosks, so you can get in and out quickly.

I haven't reviewed Gustafson's?…read more Giving credit where credit is due, this was another Jane & Michael Stern find from the 2005 update of their classic book Roadfood. Man, do your remember travel books? If you find one in a used book store, pick it up. The classics stay classic. And speaking of the classics, Gustafson's is the real deal. Roadside gas station with a handful of smokers to transform the bounty of the great lakes into delicious succulent morsels of delight. If you don't know, I have what I affectionately call a fat-tooth. And the fish that swim in those frigid fresh water lakes develop such beautiful and silky fat. The lake trout especially! Gustafson's isn't fancy. Walking in the door you may ask yourself, "This is it?". But when you tear open your pouch of smoked lake trout, and pull the meat off the bones with your fingers, with a little of that fat dripping down your arm and chin, you'll say to yourself, "Yeah, this is it." This is a required stop anytime I'm up in the UP. Last visit they were out of the whitefish, but so it goes. And looking back on the listing in Roadfood, the Sterns mentioned seeing smoked menominee in the case, but I've never noticed it before. I'll have to ask next time I'm up. Sure, you can get the salmon. I imagine it's delicious. The Gustafson's crew are great at smoking and salmon takes smoke well. But I say go for the local stuff. Get out of your comfort zone and buy a whole whitefish. Don't fret about heads and bones. Don't worry that you won't finish it (there is a bunch of negative space inside, they aren't as big as they look). You've got this. I believe in you!

Visiting Charlevoix and a local recommended fried chicken at this E-Z Mart. I told her I'm not…read moregetting fried chicken from a gas station. She insisted. So off we go and the first thing I notice is this place has a fair number of gas pumps. Clearly, there was no turning away from the fact that this is going to be fried chicken from a gas station. We walk in and it's a typical mini mart. Candy, soft drinks, beer, chips, you know the classics. But then I looked to my left. Tucked away in the far reaches of this place , far away from the Dorritos, was a warm spirit of a woman standing behind a hot area of golden fried chicken. Was I dreaming? A muliple line gas station housing the sweet smell of fried wonderfulness? I was expecting us to go up to her and order so much chicken that she surely would not be able to handle. People don't walk in here and buy chicken for six. People are coming here and buying chicken for one to eat in their car on the side of the road. But to my amazement, my friend had ordered ahead of time and this warm angel picked up a large to-go bag with multitudes of drums and breasts, fried up in some secret gas station chicken recipe, and handed it to us. Was this actually happening? At home at dinner I was expecting to eat a small drum and thigh. I put extra apple sauce on the side for security. And then I tasted this gas station chicken. It was crispy and seasoned just right. I went back for more. Everyone did.

The directories will tell you this address is Burt's Market, but the sign outside reads "Pat &…read moreGary's II Party Store." This is a convenience store, which also contains "Kel's Kitchen & Deli." This place puts out some awesome grinders! You'd never know it just driving by -- the place looks like just a simple party store -- but we had a hot tip from another business (the quilt shop up the road) that this place was good for lunch. Wearing dirt bike attire, you would be out of place at a sit-down restaurant, but this place has a pizza kitchen along with a party store, and there is a bench around the corner in the shade (near the hydroponics store, man!) where you can set up shop and have lunch. Back to the grinders... The bread is delish. It crackles! You have your choice of fillings. They also make pizza at this place, so a grinder is basically a pizza sandwich. These grinder things were so huge, each of us could barely eat ours, but they were soooo good, we exerted a special effort. We were happy to be overstuffed, but since we were riding our dirt bikes that day, we really should have split one grinder between the two of us. On successive visits, we have ordered just a HALF sandwich and split that. It has been plenty. Stopping for lunch here is the highlight of this particular dirt bike loop that we like to frequent in the Indian River area. Definitely go there if you love warm bread and melty, savory sandwich fillings. You won't be disappointed! There is a 75 cent charge for using a credit card.
