"An Ann Arbor specialty deli with a cult following and an early nationwide shipping model; its meat-and-cheese subscription delivers hard-to-find domestic and imported cheeses and meat spreads via monthly themes. The reviewer notes several themed clubs (including Frequent Fish, Coffee Cake, and a Quarterly Bacon Report) and recounts a memorable paper-wrapped Piace Vecche slab billed as parmigiano-like but unlike any cheese they'd tasted—so addictive it prompted overeating—making this subscription a sincere, low-glitz gift for dedicated cheese lovers." - Claire Carusillo
"The shop retails imported Italian garum/colatura-style anchovy sauce, making specialty fermented fish sauces accessible to customers through its retail channels." - Rafael Tonon
"Tucked away in a south side industrial park along with Zingerman’s coffee shop and bakehouse, Zingerman’s Creamery is serving some really good gelato and cheese. Rotating seasonal flavors like coconut caramel crunch and black sesame as well as the creamery’s standard options are available as a scoop or in pints for later. For special occasions, the DIY gelato program allows customers to personalize their own blend." - John Reyes
"Brenna Houck, editor of Eater Detroit, says that Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is really the granddaddy of mail order food in the Midwest, known for shipping heritage-breed turkeys from a farm in Crozet, Virginia." - Nikita Richardson
"A long-standing Ann Arbor food business whose co-founder’s writings and talks (compiled in a multi-part guide to good leadership) provided a blueprint for compassionate, mission-driven business practices. The guide synthesizes practical leadership methods, care for employees and customers, and the idea that businesses can foster a connected society; its teachings have been used as a hands-on resource for running a restaurant and training managers, helping translate social values into concrete operational choices." - Monica Burton
