| Lemon ricotta pancakes at Rodin in Detroit. |
A list, for your holiday brunching enjoyment. A lot of copy/pasting happened so do forgive any formatting errors. (And halfway through putting this together I saw this post, but it's cool 'cuz I still managed to sneak a few in that the Freep missed.)
The Root, White Lake
If you don't want to drive all the way out to White Lake, that's cool. I mean, Chef James Rigato is just the only Michigan chef who was nominated for Food + Wine's "People's Choice" award this year and also has a full-length special debuting on a new show on the Cooking Channel in May, but whatevs, if Royal Oak's more convenient you and you aren't sick of going to the same six places all the time then more power to you there. If you're being a bit more adventurous, check out the Root's menu:
