"Our Famous Handcrafted Burger"
Rated one of the nation's 20 BEST BURGERS by GQ Magazine

GQ, July 2005
The 20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die

"Alan Richman traveled 23,750 miles and consumed more than 150,000 calories while taking the measure of 162 burgers across the country—with one goal: To find you the best damned assemblage of ground beef and buns this country serves up."

"Our Famous Handcrafted Burger", Sidetrack Bar and Grill, Ypsilanti, MI

"Here is one of my core culinary credos: The closer you come to a college campus, the worse burgers get. Sidetrack Bar and Grill—named for its location next to an old railroad siding—is an exception."

  · As seen on the Oprah Winfrey Show ·
