Chef Eve Aronoff — chef-owner of eve restaurant in Ann Arbor’s Kerrytown district — will compete this fall on Bravo’s “Top Chef: Las Vegas,” the sixth season of the top-rated cable series, the network announced today.

Aronoff, 40, was classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, but her contemporary cooking style is known for its bold, exotic flavors and eclectic international influences that range from Cuba and Africa to Vietnam. Her intimate restaurant, opened in 2003, features a seasonally changing menu, an outstanding wine list and a casually sophisticated ambience.

My favorite is the Chicago Dog. Last time I was in there, though, they no longer had cranberry juice, which I always used to order with my meal to help digest it. Also: waffle fries with cheese (yum).

Ann Arbor police used an electronic stun gun to zap a man who they say assaulted and robbed his former girlfriend and her mother inside a downtown restaurant Monday night.

The man entered the Parthenon Restaurant at 226 S. Main St. at about 7:20 p.m. and confronted the 28-year-old woman who was sitting in a booth with her mother, Detective Sgt. Jim Stephenson said.

The man grabbed the woman's laptop computer and pulled her to the ground as she tried to fight him off, Stephenson said. He also pushed the victim's 49-year-old mother to the ground when she got involved, before running out of the restaurant.

it's been fun to mentally walk through ann arbor, pondering all of its incredible eating. as the result of all of this thinking, and after much hemming and hawing and revising, i've come up with my long-overdue top 5 restaurants in ann arbor. (and 6 runners-up, because how can you limit it to just 5?)

very long spreadsheet-y guide to restaurants in montreal

In 2000, I wrote about Gong Di Lin, a fake-meat veggie restaurant. I went back tonight. It’s moved a few blocks. The place is now bright rather than dingy. But it’s still delicious, with a huge menu of foods, from chicken to jellyfish to intestines to “man-made horse feet.” I had Szichuan “chicken,” fried rice with “pork” and a very big bottle of beer. (80 yuan, or about US$12.) The man at the table next to me struck up a conversation — very friendly witha beautiful young teenage son. (I noticed many fathers with sons as I walked for 6 hours today. Maybe that’s only because I brought our son to Beijing when he was about that boy’s age.)

OMG HVAC BBQ

The restaurant is occupying just under 4,000 square feet next to Moe's Southwest Grill. Bagger Dave's decor puts an emphasis on a train motif - historical photos of Ann Arbor, especially its train cars, dot the walls, and an electric train makes circles above the bar and dining room areas. The American look is completed by casual wooden booths and tables, and a red, blue and cream-colored floor.

French Laundry owner Mark Hamel says he and chef Jody Brunori threw down a challenge to Marcel Fex. "We said, 'We haven't bought produce from local growers because we do a high volume (of meals).

The sign out front of the Bridgeview stating, "Best whitefish in town," is Absolutely No Joke. It may be in fact be among the best whitefish in the State, showing what one can do with good ingredients and minimal fussing. Cara had the grilled whitefish sandwich, with chili cheese fries. Margaret and I had the fish and chips, which we got several minutes after Cara's sandwich. After delivering the sandwich, Chief had to pull a few more whitefish out of the bucket and clean them before he could make our food, complete with commentary on their energeticness. It's definitely worth making a stop for on any trip over the bridge.

From the street, it looks as if Mamounia is just an elegant, dimly lit bar, and there is little indication of the restaurant downstairs. It was raining, so we had coats and umbrellas, and as the person showing us down to our table did not take our costs, we assumed there would be somewhere to hang them downstairs. But no – we had to sling them over the backs of our chairs. The restaurant is also dimly lit, so the menu’s small writing on coloured paper was a challenge as I’d forgotten my specs. The menu is divided into Lebanese, Moroccan and Fusion and there’s a wide choice. We started with a shared plate of mixed Lebanese meze, all fine and freshly cooked, but to be honest, no better than one would get in any Green Lanes Turkish restaurant, or – say - Gallipoli in Upper Street. And of course, twice the price. But this is Mayfair, with crisp napery, swift service and a floorshow, so it’s certainly value for money.

The team behind Ann Arbor restaurants Grizzly Peak, Vinology and Cafe Habana are planning a new eatery and brewpub in the Handicraft Building at the corner of East Liberty and South Division streets.

A deal to lease the former Kaplan test center space and for partial ownership of the building was inked on Friday, said broker Jim Chaconas of McKinley Commercial Services.

Restaurateurs Jon Carlson and Greg Lobdell made the deal with the building's new owners, Oakland County developers Ron Hughes and Dan Ketelaar.

Vrinat and his staff went about their work with a serene perfectionism; no detail escaped their notice, but they made flawlessness look easy and fun. Above all, they were guided by a determination to send every client home satiated, smiling, and happy.
