Our family was able to attend the Chili Cookoff today. My in-laws came in for the afternoon from out of town, my daughter had a new friend to hang out with and we spent a pretty nice day — except for 10 minutes of rain — downtown. It was a really nice day and, as [...]

I saw this in the Plymouth Observer and figured I would pass it along.
The success of the Great Lakes Regional Chili Cookoff, Plymouth’s annual chili festival and motorcycle show, depends heavily on volunteers.
With the growth of the festival, more and more volunteers are needed. Habitat for Humanity provides the bulk of the volunteers.
Anyone wishing to [...]

Next Sunday is, yet another great Plymouth event, the Great Lakes Regional Chili Cookoff. Set to take place on October 4 downtown Plymouth, this is the 14th annual event.
There are two categories of cook-offs. Private cooks bring their own recipes and compete head-to-head to see who makes the best red chili, green chili and salsa. [...]
Compari’s subs
Posted in dining, downtown Plymouth, tagged Compari's, Compari's on the Park, downtown Plymouth, Plymouth MI, Plymouth Michigan, sandwiches, submarine sandwiches on September 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Compari’s sells sub sandwiches. I couldn’t tell you all the subs they sell, but my wife, just the other day, brought me home a “whole” size chicken sub. It was fantastic. It might have been the best submarine sandwich I’ve ever had. If not the best, it was pretty darn close. That’s saying a lot [...]
Big block party weekend

Our neighborhood held it’s annual block party Saturday evening on Harding Street, adjacent to (and at) Fairground Park. Everyone appeared to have a great time, including yours truly. I got to know a few neighbors a bit better and enjoy some really delicious food and drink.
I noticed that a few other local neighborhoods had block [...]
Loving Leo’s
Posted in dining, restaurant, tagged Leo's Coney Island, Plymouth Michigan on August 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We eat out quite a bit, perhaps more than we should. But the good thing is that we get a chance to sample a lot of different restaurants and inject a little bit of money into the local economy.
A place that has become something of a new favorite is Leo’s Coney Island, on Ann Arbor [...]
Plaka Mediterranean Grill

The newest restaurant in Plymouth, located on the north side of Penniman, between Harvey and Main Street, had its grand opening the other day. My family had a chance to eat there and we enjoyed it.
The food was good. I had in mind that this was a straight-up Greek restaurant (because I didn’t notice “Mediterranean” [...]
My new favorite dessert

I’m not claiming this is the best dessert that can be bought here in town. I’m just saying it’s my favorite at the moment.
Dairy-Go-Round offers “Muds,” which are basically what are known as “Flurries” at other ice cream stores. My favorite Mud is “Chocolate & Cherry.” It’s got chunks of cherries mixed with cherry sauce [...]
I love the Burger Spot!

I just polished off a hamburger and am now eating a little dish of their delicious hand-cut fries.
If you are unfamiliar with it, the Burger Spot is downtown Plymouth at 550 Forest Avenue.
TBS makes a variety of hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, as well as french fries to die for. Yum!
