Travel and food expert Darley Newman stops in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a taste of Zingerman’s Roadhouse, known for seriously good American comfort food, local flavor, and a vintage 1952 Spartan trailer that’s now part of its drive-in. Newman came for the fried chicken but couldn’t resist trying two standout mac & cheese dishes along the way.
