Michigan Pasties

First Pasties. Really good! Imagine my surprise/embarrassment when I found out they are pronounced with a short, not long, A. I've been in the city too long.

Hey, big guy, there are pasties (with a long A) in Michigan also. But you probably aren't bringing Momma to the establishment. What was the name of the restaurant where you had them? I guess in other words, was it a pasty only place or just happen to have them on the menu?

The Pancake Chef, they specialized in all foods. Really good!

Chip,

When you head toward the bridge into the lower peninsula on US2, just after you leave the little town (really only 3 stores and some rental condos) of Brevort, about 13 miles further east, just before you get into St Ignace, on the right (south) side of US2 you'll see Lehto's Pasties. It's an old "converted Dairy Queen style building with a gravel parking lot. BEST PASTIES IN THE UP !!! The address is 1983 US-2, St Ignace, MI and they are open from 10AM to 8PM every day but Sunday which is 10am-6pm. They make them daily and when they sell out, they close the doors, so depending on what time you go through, you may or may not get to sample the bestest......

They sell them "ready to eat, ready to cook or frozen" and yes, they sell them all, every day.... We've been known to drive the 75 miles just to buy a couple to bring home for the next day.....

http://www.lehtospasties.com/

As an observation, ALL pasties are good, it's just that some are "gooder" than others...... Try Lehto's, you'll very likely agree.....

Safe travels,

Now I can't wait to try them. I saw it on my way in and wondered about them. Now I know. Thanks.

Lehto's was all that and much more. So glad we took the tie to go. I highly recommend them if you are in the area. Also went to Whitefish Point and the Shipwreck museum. Wow is all I can say! I wonder if we were anywhere close to JRTJH (John)?

About 50 miles directly south on I-75. I thought Lehto's would be a hit for you. That "looks like sausage gravy" in the picture you posted was kind of a "shock".... No "real Yupper" would ever put sausage gravy on a pasty ROFL.....

Okay - being a deprived individual that has never been to Michigan, what is a Pasty? In CTBruce's photo, it looks like a sort of meat pot pie? Hope to make it to that part of the world next year but until then?

It's a Cornish meat pie, usually made with diced (not ground) beef, potatoes, rutabaga, onion, spices and baked until "golden brown". Often served "plain" some prefer catsup, others like a rich brown gravy. I like mine with a good 1/4 sliced dill pickle and chocolate milk.

The one was a breakfast pastie. Hmm, no gravy? Michigan is a beautiful state. Would be a nice place to retire.

I'd suppose a breakfast pastie is a "marketing tool" for some restaurants. It's not the "original" as you can now attest to. LOL But, if it's good, no matter what you call it, "chow down" !!!

Michigan is a pretty good place to live. When we retired I "fought my DW" tooth and nail about staying in Louisiana. She eventually won and we built a new house up here. My biggest concern was the hunting and fishing I'd miss. Well, we really do more fishing and hunting here than in Louisiana. I've got deer, bear, turkey, grouse, squirrel and rabbits "right out the back door"...

As for "deep sea fishing" we're going on a Lake Michigan salmon/trout charter tomorrow out of Petoskey. It's a 43' charter "open sport fishing boat" so honestly, it's bigger than most of the deep sea boats we fished in the Gulf of Mexico. Today the boat charter "limited out on King Salmon and Lake Trout. 4 people on the charter and 20 fish. The smallest was 12 pounds with a couple over 20. As far as I'm concerned, it may not be snapper, tuna or redfish, but it's still "crankin' em in"....

Summers are fantastic, winters (if you have the toys) are also fantastic. We bought the fifth wheel to go south in the winter, but honestly, between snowshoeing, cross country skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling and hunting, we've been too busy enjoying the winter to go south except for the first year we had the Cougar. This year, if we don't get lots of snow, we'll probably head to Florida, but if it's "good snowmobiling" we'll be too busy travelling around on those to take time to go south. Some people like motorcycles, we've grown into snowmobiles, travel across the state, tour along the Great Lakes and at times we can go all day long without seeing another human. Really gives us the opportunity to "commune with nature"....

I'd never admit it to my DW, but I'm kind of glad she "won the argument" about where to retire......

That confirms what our eyes were seeing. We're talking about it for sure.

We went through Petoskey today on our way to Traverse City. What a nice area. Quaint town too. Have a great time fishing. Limit out yourself!

We lived in Gwinn for about 5 years and tried to get down to visit with the DW's family about one weekend a month. That's a bunch of trips across the bridge. We "changed up" the drive by going 77 through Germfask/Blaney Park, then next time through Engadine on 117. Then, in the summer we'd take 123 through Ozark and up to 28, but that was always a "LONG TRIP" through the Seney Stretch.... We never tried that route in the winter and stayed on US2 along the "banana belt" to Escanaba and up 35 to Gwinn. Less snow that way. On occasion along US28 along Lake Superior from Newberry to Munising and then from Munising into Marquette, there would be 10' of snow on the shoulders and 1-2 feet of fresh powder on the road. Even following the snow plow was never a guarantee of "easy driving".

Enjoy your trip, that part of the UP is always nice in August/September. Safe travels.

We live 13 miles north of Gwinn near the"Crossroads" they have a real good pasty. Our family has been here forever. Well at least since the 1870s.
Won't be traveling south for the winters for a few more years.
It is hard to go very far when the weather is nice, we have so much to see right here and the people are the best. I hope you enjoy the great UP and the rest of Michigan.

If you think Petoskey is quaint now you should've seen it years ago. Friends who are native to the area are upset over the way their town has changed for the worse. Bigger isn't always better

Ketchup on pasty would be akin to steak sauce on Kobi beef.
If this falls in anyone's travels I would highly recommend Joe's Pasties in Rhinelander, WI. These people even render their own lard for the crust.
