OT: If you were to eat your first American lunch in Ann Arbor, where would you go?
From my cousin:
I have a favor to ask. I have a friend from work whose son is at Ann Arbor. The son has a friend from Xiamen, China arriving (I think to also be a student). My friend was asking around for recommendations for an authentic first lunch in the U.S. for this Chinese friend. So what would you recommend? What would you think of for a first lunch for a foreigner. I'm not sure that there is a quintessential American lunch any more. Any local restaurants (not a chain) that you can think of that would be "quintessential" Ann Arbor?My initial thoughts: CHEAP: Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger MODERATE: Cheesesteak, Stilton Fries and a beer at Ashley's EXPENSIVE: Zingerman's

No one goes to Pizza House for pizza.
Hell, I'd rather go to NYPD for pizza.
I will say though that I think Cottage Inn is fantastic.

I go to Pizza House for pizza. (So, based on my observations everytime I'm there, does most everyone else.)
Cottage Inn just seems heavier/greasier to me. I feel ill after I eat it.

For sheer nostalgia, Blimpy... but considering I have disposable income now that I rarely had when I lived in Ann Arbor, I'd pick Zingermans. Don's Rhythm & Blues with Russian Dressing instead of mustard. Yum.

Is that the place that moved in where Tubbys used to be?
