Appetizing Creations From Western Upper Peninsula
The west side of the UP offers more than just beautiful scenery, miles of coastline, small friendly towns, or areas for hunting and fishing. You can find amazing and unique dishes from the north such as their famous pasties or the freshest Lake Superior Whitefish. Even with cooler weather the availability of fresh fruit is still seen in Houghton County as they are known for their abundance of U-pick strawberry farms. The nature you will come across in the UP is just as exciting as the food and this is Pure Michigan.
