Rutabaga Radish - what's in a name?

It would appear necessity continues to give birth to Bambie-legged, gelatin-covered invention.
This is intended to be the guide to all things food, but particularly restaurants, in the Monroe, Michigan area - occasionally including the eating scene in Toledo, Ann Arbor, Detroit and Royal Oak. The one I didn't have, but wished I did when moving to this place.

A bit about my tongue: I like food. I can appreciate KFC or a tasting at a five star. It's all a matter of context. But. But! But, that said, I'm not an expert on anything. I like what I like. The goal is to provide an objective but critical view into what we put in ourselves. I like to think of it as a discriminating palate - without all the pretensions. And sometimes random thoughts on things.

What you won't find here: lol! imho! lots of emoticons. things said just to be nice. bought and paid for reviews. slams because the server reportedly looked at me wrong. excessive punctuation and CAPS insanity. things written just to make me look fancy (it's about the grub, damn it). a search to find the weirdest and/or hippest place - making the scene. And, quests to find and eat the oddest or most exotic things in the world just to say I've had them in my mouth.

Now that we know the ground rules, let's go.
