The 26 Best Things Made in Michigan’s Cities | Eater
"In 2011, the Purple Carrot Food Truck created buzz as Michigan’s first “farm-to-truck” food stand featuring almost entirely products and ingredients from within the state. Started by Nina Santucci and partner Anthony Maiale (who studied under Michel Richard at Citronelle in DC, among other kitchens), the food truck took off and in 2013 they opened Red Haven, named for a Michigan-developed peach variety. Their menu of seasonal small plates changes but continues to reflect their use of local ingredients. Even their décor is local — the woodwork is reclaimed from an old barn in Charlotte and the wine storage boxes are made from cherry lug boxes from farms along Old Mission Peninsula." - Vox Creative
