Zingerman's rocked - totally worth the trip to Ann Arbor. The food was amazing, and their customer service is seriously outstanding. A few photos:
The line wrapped around the back of the building, but moved very quickly. They kept bringing out samples of tasty food to try (coffee, bread, sausage, etc) - plus looking through the extensive menu takes a while anyway!
The view of the cheese counter. The breads (not in the photo) are off to the right. The building is from the early 1900s and very small, but they've managed to pack a ton of product in such a small space.
La Quercia Prosciutto from Iowa. If you're a charcuterie fan like I am, you NEED to try La Quercia if you haven't already.
The main event: Food, glorious food. On the left is the #2 Reuben, on the right is the #48 BInny's Brooklyn Reuben. Both include REAL Swiss cheese, Russian dressing that's made on-site, and served on bread made in their Bakehouse. You also get your choice of two pickles: Old, which is garlic-cured, and New, which is more crunchy and cucumbery. I asked for both, and I'm glad I did - both were very good, and tasted very different from each other.
Yes, they are a bit pricey, but considering they use the best ingredients they can find, and their superior (seriously, awesome) customer service, it's more than worth the cost.
