From Cadillac to Petoskey, the North's food and restaurant scene doesn’t stop changing. That’s perhaps been particularly true with COVID-19 interrupting indoor dining, shuttering some popular favorites (goodbye, The Franklin), and offering opportunities for others (Hello, Brasserie Amie).

In this week’s Northern Express - sister publication of The Ticker - staff have a roundup of eat & drink news from around the region, from new owners for Hermann’s European Café in Cadillac to vegan spring roll and hot sauce businesses relocating to Benzie to Cedar City Market II opening its door this month in Leelanau County. This week's issue also features an in-depth profile on new Traverse City cafe Hexenbelle, a showcase of restaurant profiles from across northern Michigan, and personal stories from restaurateurs fighting to make it through the pandemic.

The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy at newsstand locations in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
