Jonathan Boncek Chicken Skewers

Rutledge Cab Co. has answered the call of upper peninsula residents looking for an all-American joint where they can eat a couple times a week. The restaurant is slinging burgers, pickling veggies, and shaking up cocktails, and at a low price point, too. Though the menu has recently changed, the food is comforting but a little more uptown — think chicken liver mousse, lobster rolls, and Moroccan chicken served tagine-style. The space has a modern, yet unpretentious vibe, with a huge welcoming patio. The burger is one of the best values in town, and we recommend starting off with the pu pu platter, featuring crab and leek rangoons, charred barbecue wings, teriyaki beef skewers, and tuna satays. Did we mention they serve breakfast all day? —Kinsey Gidick Dish (Winter 2015)
