Grand Rapids Grub just recently launched, and serves as a website completely devoted to serving the West Michigan area. A collaboration between myself and Rob Kirkbride, we also give travel ideas, and let “foodies” know of the latest events that are happening in the area.

I moved to GR two years ago for school and since then I’ve really loved what Grand Rapids has to offer food wise, I think its on its way to becoming an actual foodie city! (fingers crossed) I’ve been writing a blog for a while, baking and cooking are the only things keeping me sane while I get through Business school… haha. If you have a chance Check it out.

I write food articles for the examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/x-15101-Grand-Rapids-Dessert-Examiner). I love to bake, and I post my favorite recipes on this site. I also have a food blog (http://justdessertsexaminer.blogspot.com/) on which I post recipes, tips, and hints, which ties into the Examiner articles.

Hi Amy,

I loved your article and immediately checked out a few of the sites. I also write for RG and am a big fan of your store. In addition to a personal blog, I write a food column called Four Forks for the fitness website Bodies in Motivation. The site is not local (based in Seattle), but I have a farm share at Trillium Haven here in town, and I’ve written a bit recently about what I’m doing with all that produce.

Thanks for the new local foodie info! (And Trevor, I completely agree with your site’s take on The Winchester. Very cool place, but also: So Loud! I met some friends there and we could literally not hear each other speak. I asked my server to turn down the music twice – something I have never, ever done before – and still it was too loud in there. I don’t see how a baby or two could possibly make a difference.)

Yes, Austrian wines aren’t that “cool” yet. But they’re getting there. When we call that Gruner Veltliner “Groovy” around here well sell more of it We’ve got the Lois on the shelf right now for about $12. it was $16 just last week but we got a deal for a week or two.

Hey Amy, thanks for the kind words! In one of your pictures, I noticed a bottle of Lois Greuner Veltliner in a basket. Thats a great bottle of wine for the price. I’m shocked that the varietal hasn’t taken off more (you can still get an exceptional bottle for $20-$30). It must be the Austria factor.
