Counting the ballots…
Michigan's ballot splits at the bridge. The Upper Peninsula sends the Pasty, a Cornish miner's hand pie, and Cudighi, a spiced sausage sandwich found nowhere else. Detroit answers with Detroit-Style Pizza, square and crisp-edged, plus the Coney Dog, the Olive Burger, and Paczki every Fat Tuesday. Lakes and orchards supply Great Lakes Whitefish, tart Cherry Pie, and Blueberry Crumble. Mackinac Island Fudge is made in copper kettles in the window, for the tourists. What Michigan is famous for was carried into a mine or baked in a square pan. So what is Michigan's official state dish? Voting closes November 1, 2026.
