This week, Michael sits down with Faith from @faithsfoodblog, one of GR’s favorite local food accounts, to run through the official 616 Ten – ten rapid-fire questions about the best eats in and around the city.

Faith shares how a grainy iPod Touch and childhood food pics turned into a full-blown Grand Rapids food blog, growing up in Rockford, and why exploring local spots after college made her fall in love with this city’s food scene even more. Then she locks in her picks for:

• Best burger in Grand Rapids (and why ambiance matters)

• The Detroit-style pizza that converted her

• Her go-to coffee shop for an iced latte (even in winter)

• A fun, low-pressure first date spot

• The tiki bar cocktail that’ll make you forget it’s snowing

• Her favorite sweet treat pop-up worth taking PTO for

• The tiny spot she’d hit for her “last meal” in GR

• A Lake Michigan coast must-stop

• The best tacos in the city

• And the cozy “secret” Korean spot she almost didn’t want to share

If you’re always asking “Where should we eat in Grand Rapids?” this episode is your new cheat sheet.
