The voting for Michigan’s Best Outdoor Dining kicked off on Tuesday, Jan. 26, and we’ve already received more than 6,500 votes in just one day.
Thanks to everyone who voted for their favorite restaurants in Michigan. Trust me, they appreciate it. We talked to several restaurant owners, as well as employees, over the last few days who are thrilled for the recognition as they battle months of business loss because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
