Bagger Dave's is not a run-of-the-mill burger chain. The Ann Arbor-based company, whose first location was in Berkley, is passionate about burgers and Michigan beer, with more than 10 varieties available.

Stop by the corner of Main and 14 Mile for a cross section of the fare of Vietnam.
Da Nang, named for the hometown of proprietor Kim Dao-Waldis, celebrates its second anniversary next month. The restaurant's two dining rooms are done up with deep red walls, wrought-iron framed mirrors and lantern-style light fixtures for a serene setting. The menu offers a cross section of the fare of Vietnam. There are several versions of the national soup – pho – which is really a full meal in itself.

Despite the seeming emphasis on beef, there are many …
