Cheaper Than Food, Not Good Enough For NYT

Ann Arbor Guy sends word that The New York Times has a 36-hours-in-Ann-Arbor piece.  It hits a lot of the spots you'd expect: Nickels Arcade (which I always saw as a shortcut more than a place to shop), the Diag, Moe's, Dominick's, Hill, The Ark, Angelo's, Zingerman's, the Arb and so on.

But former Ann Arborite Ann Althouse (A-squared from A-squared) notes something is missing.  (Okay, there's a lot missing, but it's just 36 hours).  Sure, she used to hang out at Dominick's, but she worked at Krazy Jim's

I remember when Jim used to grind up a huge vat of meat and we stood around in the walk-in refrigerator using ice cream scoops to transform it into those meatballs. Krazy Jim's didn't make it into the NYT's recommended 36 hours. Who knows why? Some kind of rule against greasy food?

She's probably right.  The Times must have figured it didn't need all those nasty letters from the wine and cheese crowd complaining of gastronomical distress.  But I think for most discriminating palates, a Blimpy Burger is still de rigueur.

A recent Current magazine search for burgers in town which has Patti Smith on the committee chose Frita Batidos and Zingermans Road house above Krazy Jims. Heresy!! But I gotta say I did really enjoy my burger at Frita's, which is the latest project for serial restauranteur Eve Aronoff.
