PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Phyllis KhareYou can't miss this place. It has a Bigfoot statue out front. The legend is that the odor of all the great beef and chicken pasties made here lured the creature out of the woods.
When it comes to making the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's unofficial food, nobody in these parts of the UP along Lake Superior makes better pasties than Muldoons.
