chops35 Hello SpeedEats..thanks for all the great ideas of where to eat while traveling from state to state.
Our good friend Jason "Stix" Buckley just celebrated a birthday recently. We figured that we should have some fun. So we got him a fast food whopper, taco and Sonic tots. This photo is proof that you can put a candle in a tot! Awesome.

I WANT A REAL SANDWICH... PLEASE!!!

Pancake Pantry a Nashville Tradition
MRO's Kyle Froman and his family showed this treat to our Matthew Dillner last year. If you like Pancakes, and a load of different kinds, this is your place. The Pantry is a place that has a line outside usually but is worth it. It's where the locals eat.
BD's Mongolian Barbecue
Yeah Yeah, I know it is technically a chain. BD's rocks and it's their best location in my opinion. A bunch of us have been going to this Ann Arbor BD's for years.
If you've never been, it's simple. Picture a salad bar where you fill your bowl with meat, chicken or poultry, veggie and toppings, spices and sauces. Then you bring it to a stone grill and they cook it for you. It's a ton of fun! Count me in for at least two bowls. Shhh...maybe three!

Tony Packo's
Pickles and Peppers. Holy Toledo! Yes... Toledo, Ohio. It's not that far away folks and there is a great little short track there. Go make a night of it... hit Packo's for some fried pickles and maybe a little hungarian fare and then watch the winged Super Mods and Sprint Cars at Toledo Speedway on Friday night. Yeah baby!

Guest Picks...
ALBA COLON General Motors
Lafayette Coney Island
Two competing Coney Island Hot Dog places rival one street in Detriot Michigan. Some say "American Coney Island" is the best. Others say Lafayette (next door) is better. I think Lafayette is the best Coney Island Dog in Downtown Detroit.

Angelos
Angelos at Ann Arbor is a great place. I have only had breakfast there. Great breakfast potatoes and homemade bread. They have a nice little history. I have heard their corned beef is great but I have never been there for lunch. I will have to try it sometime. The waiters have been the same forever!

SHORT TRACKIN SO GOOD IT'S STUPID!
There are a ton of amazing little short tracks to hit while in Michigan this weekend. Toledo Speedway (OH) isn't far away and is mentioned in the food picks (with Tony Packo's). Flat Rock is one of my personal favorites. Their Saturday night program includes School Bus Figure-8 racing, regular Figure-8's, Factory Stock's and more. I will tell you it's one of the most fun places you'll ever go to!

Michigan Int'l Speedway
MD and Guest Picks!
Mac's Acadian Seafood Grill
It's a hidden little place where the locals like to go. On the way to the track from the Ann Arbor area it's in the small town of Saline, Michigan. There isn't much signage so keep your eye out for it.
Mac's has gourmet seafood in a casual setting at reasonable prices. I'm telling you, this place is awesome. Wood grilled fish... how can you go wrong?

Darlington Piggly Wiggly Cookout!
Now folks, this is random. Driving through the sleepy southern town of Darlington, South Carolina on the day of the Southern 500, we happened upon this local Piggly WIggly grocery store. The rest is Random Yumminess history!
