When seeking food on the run, don't forget the local grocer.
Many markets offer a full deli bar with fresh meats, cheese, soups and salads.
The House of Flavors Ice Cream factory in Ludington produces 15 million gallons of ice cream annually. Take a bit of the north back home to savor throughout the year with one of the many books on local cuisine. Each combines recipes with chatty commentary. The Leelanau Country Inn and La Senorita publications feature their own restaurants, while the other two books profile numerous local eateries. You'll find these books in local bookstores, specialty shops and restaurants.
