This week we head straight to Maize and Blue country, where we shout a hearty hello and how ya doin' from good old Ann Arbor town, home to THE National Champs THE University of Michigan. It's Ann Arbor Restaurant Week running through January 26, and we checked out just a few of the awesome offerings you can experience this year.

We chat with Vicki Joling, from Ann Arbor Main Street Area Association and Chad Wiebesick, Destination Ann Arbor about how this event has changed over the last few years, and what is new at local spots this year.

Then, we head out around Ann Arbor, making stops at Restaurant Week participants to see what they'll be serving up this week.

Asian Fusion cuisine is on the menu at Pacific Rim, and we are telling you what....make the reservation now to try those scallops with coconut carrot sauce. Old Town Tavern has great burger and beers on tap, plus a stop at Jolly Pumpkin for a sour or two rounds out the show.
