Burgers and cheese

A long rainy trip to Michigan was broken up by ANOTHER roadfood destination in Ann Arbor. I can't remember the exact name but Billie's Buster Burgers (???) was well worth the trip. We waited in a long line which enabled us to meet other foodies who had come to this same place through the "Diners. drive ins and dives" collective on the food network. These people had impressive organizational skills. When I mentioned an amazing dumpling place in NYC they all pulled out their i-phones and immediately jotted down the information! Anyway, the burger line was long but once you got to the front you had to quickly decide how many patties, what kind of cheese and what additional toppings you might want. The burgers were really good, memorable and greasy.

After we left Ann Arbor we had about another two hours or so to get to the McKenna's house. We arrived around dinner time. It was great to see everyone in their new Michigan setting and especially nice for me to sleep in a quiet room by myself for awhile.

This morning we headed out to a large farmer's market that had lots of good things for sale. The best stop was meeting the cheese lady. The cheese lady had a comprehensive collection of interesting cheeses and was passing out the samples quickly and with generosity.
