Sidetrack wins yet ANOTHER fan, Terry Foster of the Detroit News

In town this weekend covering girl's basketball championships at the ACC, Mr. Foster posted in his Detroit News blog some comments on Sidetrack:

Sidetracked in Depot Town
YPSILANTI -- I do not go to this town much.

Why? I really do not know. But I made a discovery many of you already know about. Sidetrack Bar and Grille in Depot Town is a great place for a burger and a brew.

On a side note, Johnny needs to tell Mr Foster about La Fiesta Mexicana who served up yet another brilliant meal of tamales Saturday night...

Ypsilanti, the NEW food king of Michigan

Seriously, let's take a look at what we know. 2 years ago as you recall, GQ named the Sidetrack's burger as 7th best in all the land. Not too shabby, really good in fact. Then Epicurious names La Fiesta Mexicana as THE BEST Mexican restaurant in all the USA (h/t Dixit). Now we find out that Cafe Luwak in Depot Town has won the WDIV Channel 4 "4 the Best" award as the best sandwich shop in southeast Michigan.

So three restaurants, and three top notch reputations. ALL in Ypsilanti. YCD thinks if you're looking for a good dinner out, Ypsilanti has what you're looking for.
