Author Notes:

As the editor of this website, I get to try lots of restaurants in various parts of the country (often in various parts of the world). Every now and the there’s one that stands out so profoundly it becomes a culinary high water mark. To achieve this status the place has to have more than outstanding food. Outstanding food, well prepared is a given. It also has to have heart, soul, and a big element of surprise. The Everyday People Cafe in the tiny town of Douglas, Michigan, near the Lake Michigan shore, is just such a place. If you find yourself anywhere near the vicinity, a meal at the EPC (as locals affectionately call it) is well worth going out of your way for.

This recipe is a favorite of chef/owner (and town mayor) Matt Balmer and his executive chef Michael Bild (pictured).
