I raise carnivorous plants like Venus Flytraps and more and I love to cook and try new recipes. When I heard there was a restaurant named The Fly Trap on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Food Channel), my interest was piqued. I lived in Michigan for 6 years so how come I never heard about this place? What I found is this well known restaurant that I never knew about has a fusion style menu with great food. (When I go to Michigan again I will try to find this place).

It has New American approach with Asian, Italian and African touches that apply a fusion style in Michigan. Classic diner fare, including the lemongrass pho bowl, the
chef's takeoff on Vietnamese noodle dish, a North African spiced chicken breast
with Monterey jack cheese, caramelized onion and aioli served on grilled sourdough
bread, spicy chickpea falafel and caperberry salad over grilled pita and much more.
These were featured and look so good
Red Chili Salmon Burger* – with Shaved Cucumber and Ginger Lime Aioli $8.95 ( I saw as they made this on the show and I have to find a recipe for it!!!). I love salmon burgers!
Charmoula Chicken - North African Spiced Chicken Breast, Jack Cheese, Caramelized Onion on Grilled Sourdough with a Lemon, Garlic Aioli $7.95 (Charmoula is an fruit found in some groceries so I will have to find a recipe and try this one too)
The Chop Chop – Greens, Mushrooms, Ham, Salami, Provolone and Olives Chopped Together with an Herb Shallot Dressing sm. $5.95 lg. $7.95 (They showed this one but I don't eat Ham)

Ann Arbor, MI's Crazy Jim's Blimpy Burger
I lived in around Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1976-1981 before I left for Kansas. I got my master's degree in science education, was an assistant tennis coach and later taught science at several community college programs. I also like to eat, cooked and went to restaurants.
I was there a few years ago twice.
I was at Zingerman's which is fantastic and has so much to offer. We tried real good Mexican, Fish, Thai and more.
At one Mexican resturant, I remember I asked if they had hot sauces. They said sure and gave me a milk plastic crate with about 20 in them. I started trying a bunch of them . Not bad. Well... until one of them started to really hit me. I rushed the bathroom and sat on the toilet as sweat poured down my face for a minute. And then I was fine. But now for a memorable place that I did not visit.

Today on the Food Channel, I saw the name of mostly burger joint that is well famous but I never made it to it. We tried real good Mexican, Thai and more.

This website said what I saw on the food channel.
This website said echoed what I saw on the food channel.
"Crazy Jim's Blimpy Burger: Although not really a restaurant, no review on food in Ann Arbor would be complete without mentioning Blimpy's. Offering the greasiest and greatest burgers in Ann Arbor, this hamburger stand has a unique method of preparing its burger. Rather than making one large patty, Blimpy's makes several patties per burger.
When ordering, customers specify how many patties, beginning with double up to the quint burger. Crazy Jim's slogan is "Cheaper than food," and it is pretty cheap - five bucks will buy a triple burger, fries and a drink. But be careful - patrons have said that while eating, it is possible to feel your arteries tightening, and unofficial studies suggest that going more than once a month just could be detrimental to good health."
Next time I am up there you can be sure I am going to Crazy Jim's- I gotta try it.
