Traverse City’s Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes | Eater Detroit

"Anyone who whoops it up late-night should hit Glendale for lunch the next day. What started as a Little Fleet food truck is now a full-fledged diner serving one of the best smash burgers in the state. As charming as it is, skip the red mid-mod chairs and yellow laminate booths (the color of ketchup and mustard), grab that Diet Coke you are craving from the cooler, and belly up to the burger bar. Inspired by the Oklahoma onion burger (a Depression-era classic), the Junction features two smashed and crisped patties, caramelized onions, melty American cheese, and a generous heap of sliced pickles between a classic brioche bun. The Snake Bite, topped with fresh jalapeño slices and chile crunch sauce, might make you sweat." - Stacey Brugeman
