Vinsetta Garage: on Americas Highway 1


Converted from a classic garage, the Vinsetta Garage, has quickly become one of the best places to eat along the Woodward corridor through Royal Oak, Berkely, and Birmingham (in our opinion). The exterior of the garage still looks much the same as I saw for years passing by the still operational auto garage. The pumps, the bay doors, and brick facade. In fact, if nobody told me and I had not read the review of the restaurant, I would still have thought it was a garage.
Approach the garage and maybe you might notice that the pumps are not actually pumps, but electric car charging stations. And that the full service pump bay is not filled with tables and planters. In the door you are greeted in the room that looks exactly the same as when this was a garage, a service window, places to sit while your car was worked on, and another door into the garage.  Passed that lobby is some great Detroit cooking.

It being our first visit it was not easy to decide what to eat. But finally, I settled on the "Sy Ginsberg", the others got the "Vinsetta Burger", and we got a Mac'n'cheese to share. The burgers looked great and must've been as even Fabrizio our slim Italian friend who has been very shocked at how large our lunch portions tend to be, knocked down the entire burger. 

The Mac'n'cheese was phenomenal. I have to bring our old friend Tom back up from Columbus at some point so we can have a Mac'n'cheese tour and compare the Slow's BBQ Mac to the Tour d'Force that is the Vinsetta Garage Mac. I think that even Tom, who most famously would order Mac dinner at Slow's with a side of Mac, would approve of their implementation of the down home favorite.

OK this is odd, but the bathroom is tiled with pennies

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled šŸ›· . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
