Ann Arbor's array of artisanal shops make it a 'food-lover's paradise'
Tommy York and Matt Morgan, owners of Morgan & York, in front of a portion of their impressive wine selection.

The Toledo Blade recently profiled seven local businesses that contribute to the perception that Ann Arbor is a regional food hub. From the candy bins, cheese counter and wine selection at Morgan & York (928 Packard St.) to the staggering array of delicious and otherwise hard-to-find items available at Fustini's, Spice Merchants, Monahan's Seafood and Sparrow Meat Market in the Kerrytown Shops (407 N. Fifth Ave.), there's not much that can't be found in our fair city.
Zingerman's Deli warrants a mention as well, of course. In addition to the 175 types of cheeses and enthusiastic staff, the article takes note of the availability of a 160- year-old balsamic vinegar that sells for $600.

Thank goodness it doesn't create the impression that Ann Arbor is at all pretentious....

hmmmm all the places mentioned (except for M&Y) are in Kerrytown. Either the writer is very lazy, incompetent, or something's up.

I guess if I was gathering food, I'd take them to Dos Hermanos in Ypsi, Cafe Japon, Frog Holler, Knight's, and Dimo's for morning donuts!

I would definitely agree that they missed quite a few of our local culinary treasures. Where else would you take out-of-town guests?
