Meat patties is definitely easier to make compared to veggie patties. Unlike the veggie patties, meat patties can be shaped nicely and shallow-fried to perfection. To clear up some of my minced meat stock, I made these patties to go with some bread and green corals and it turned out great! Hubby is loving it :)

#204 Chili Cheese Waffle (by JoeFoodie)
Sometimes breakfast finds its way onto a dinner plate. Waffles, when not overly sweet, are ideal in savory dishes. This whole wheat waffle tasted great blanketed in layers of chili and cheese. A must try combination.
Mae’s: Deep Fried Oreos (by TwoHungryDudes)
Fried in Zeppole batter and dusted with powdered sugar.
Deep fried Oreos are good for the soul. Chocolatey, sweet, hot, and sinful. Definitely not an everyday food, but perfect for a special treat.

#203 Apple Dumpling (by TwoHungryDudes)
Flaky pastry wrapped around a tart, firm apple. Covered in house made caramel sauce and served with home made vanilla ice cream.
From 24 Grille in Detroit, MI.
Mae’s: Bacon Deluxe Butter Burger (by TwoHungryDudes)
Topped with cheddar cheese, thick cut bacon, and an onion ring.
Hand formed patties made with butter and grilled to form a crusty outer coating while keeping the beef moist. A decadent burger, but well worth the calories.

#202 Pineapple Upside Down Cake (by JoeFoodie)
Cooked in a cast iron skillet, glazed pineapple, moist cake, Michigan cherries, and house made vanilla ice cream come together to make this classic dessert special. The tart cherries are a perfect match for the super sweet cake.
From Toasted Oak Grill & Market in Novi, MI.
Mae’s: Portland Special (by TwoHungryDudes)
Hand breaded chicken tenders in Cap’n Crunch batter, Frank’s Red Hot sauce, and Pepper Jack cheese on Farmhouse White with a side of bleu cheese dressing.
A truly interesting sandwich. The breading is super sweet and the sauce is salty & spicy while the chicken is moist. Perfectly grilled bread is dense & chewy.

Mae’s: Positive Detroit Salad (by TwoHungryDudes)
Sliced strawberries, candied pecans, fried goat cheese patty over mixed greens with poppy seed dressing.
Designed by Erin Rose and named after her Positive Detroit blog, this salad is sweet, tart, bitter, and refreshing. The goat cheese patty is creamy and crunchy.

#201 Beer Lunch (by TwoHungryDudes)
In honor of our Real Detroit Weekly Beer Issue cover story on Michigan Brewing Company, we have the beer lunch. Offered as a daily special, MBC plates sausage, three kinds of cheese, sun dried tomatoes, red grapes, and crackers. Ideal to pair with a pint or two, our lunch was served with Mackinaw Pale Ale and Peninsula Porter.
From Michigan Brewing Company in Webberville, MI.
Mae’s: Aebelskievers (by TwoHungryDudes)
Sphere-shaped Scandinavian pancakes served with fresh whipped cream and raspberries in syrup.
Not your grandmother’s pancakes (unless, of course, you’re Scandinavian), these orbs are a delightful change of pace. A slight crust forms on the outside while the inside remains light and fluffy.
