"'It's a growing trend, that people are actively pursuing dishes that are locally produced, even wine and beer,' said Andy Deloney, vice president of public affairs for the Lansing-based Michigan Restaurant Association.
The culinary tourism project is one of 25 in Michigan winning a share of a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture this fall. It will help launch a three-way promotion, bringing together restaurant owners, growers of specialty crops, and in-state vintners.
