I’ll admit it: I’m out of touch. When a friend invited me to lunch at downtown Lansing’s La Cocina Cubana, it was my first time eating Cuban food. I didn’t even know what the difference was between Cuban and Mexican food. Nevertheless, I’m always willing to try new things.

There aren’t many exciting options around town for those looking to grab dinner after 9 p.m., but thankfully, I thought outside the pizza box last weekend and ordered some takeout from El Catrín Tacos and More with a friend.

One of the things I love most about Lansing is that everyone has their own go-to shawarma spot.

Local foodies may already be familiar with East Lansing’s Uni Sushi and Ramen. Since it opened in 2019, co-owners and siblings Ben and Irene Zhang have lent an infectious energy to the place.

It’s the time of year when all the produce is ready. Tomatoes, corn, squash, beans and other typical harvest crops are piling up in the fields and on farmers market tables, and even plants that petered out during the heat of summer, like spinach, lettuce and radishes, are back. All in all, it’s a great time to be hungry.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Any breakfast spot where I can get a fancy coffee drink with my meal is top-tier in my book.

“We switch the drink menu out a lot because we’re brewing it all on-site. Just like any other place, when we run out, we’ll bring in something new,” Brown said. The brewery is also working on acquiring its liquor license so it can begin offering house-made spirits.

I once had a vegan roommate who shunned products that approximated meat because she felt they normalized meat culture. This is clearly not the sentiment held at VEG-N, where the menu focuses on burgers, chili and hot dogs — all plant-based and fully vegan.

I generally don’t believe that the adage “when someone shows you who they are, believe them” applies to restaurants, but the two experiences I’ve had at Bobcat Bonnie’s have been so unpleasant that maybe I should reconsider.
