Best is Keweenaw Mountain Lodge in Copper Harbor, but a long drive after a wedding reception. There are a few B&B's around town and some places up US-41. If you want something more modern there's AmericInn (by Wyndham) in Calumet.

Highly recommend hitting Toni's Country Kitchen in Laurium for pasty. Great all day breakfast too.

[steveschneider]

Nothing like a hot pasty smothered in Heinz ketchup.

Had an Uncle Peter’s Pasty…highly recommend it. I was stunned when I read the label that it comes from Lake Orion. Absolutely blows away the lawry’s pasty’s from Marquette. Go figure.

Head still up your ass?

Uncle Peter's is okay but no way better tasting than Lawry's. Not even as good as Barb's in Royal Oak. I like that they offer bison, elk, venison, and lamb pasty in addition to beef. However, they also make a number of other idiotic varieties that should not be labeled pasty. For instance: cheese is not, nor has ever been a pasty ingredient. Plus, their pasties are tiny and stupidly overpriced.

I don’t know I think Uncle Peter does a better job crimping the crust and joining the top piece with the bottom. I thought his presentation was better than Lawry’s and first bite I was surprised by the carrot in there. Melting cheese + pasty now that’s a great idea!! I might try to herb my crust next time with a little rosemary and put some cheese on there. I’m kind of into the empanadas crowd these days, they know how to enjoy a meat pie with an open mind and are a little more judgement free than the UP Pasty scene.

There's a place down the road from me that does empanadas. Pretty good. Bunch of different ones to try.

A good empanada should be enjoyed with hot sauce - never gravy.

Went to Uncle Peter’s website and looked over the menu. They have breakfast pasties, vegetarian pasties, apple pasties, pepper Jack cheese pasties, bacon cheeseburger pasties…

Empanada is nothing like pasty...the dough is made with yeast.  Start an empanada/bierock thread.  I'm certain cheese, apples, chicken, etc are all considered acceptable in those.

[tGreenWay]

I like a good empanada. I also like omelettes for dinner. Can’t beat an omelette with farm fresh eggs and a sharp Wisconsin cheddar. Damn, I love dinner. I declare this the official dinner thread.

Empanadas are outselling pasty’s and more popular because the empanada fans are more open minded and judgement free.

Btw did I miss some official swearing in ceremony? Who made you the authority on pasties?

[NigelUno]

The Pasty needs a good marketing campaign.
Mackinac Island fudge is way more popular.

Chocolate & sugar verses roots, lard & cheap meat.  Sure, it has to be marketing.

[steveschneider]

Huh, I checked with the Cornish pasty association and looks like you can use white shortening as an ingredient. Go figure.

Good morning Pantry. I wrote the Cornish Pasty Association and a certified pasty expert responded.

“Hi Steve, Traditionally a Cornish pasty would not have been eaten with any sauce on it at all. As you may know, Cornish pasties were the food of the working class and miners in 1700-1800s (although they’ve been in Cornwall since the 14th Century) and so it was eaten ‘as is’ for their lunch – gravy would have certainly been a bit messy! Today of course many people opt to include different ingredients from the traditional pasty (vegan, vegetarian etc) and use sauces. So I would say, neither gravy nor ketchup would be how you ‘should’ eat a pasty, but enjoy it the way you like it best and don’t worry too much!”

Hope that was helpful. Btw I’m working on a bbq chicken pasty using chicken and coleslaw with some Open Pit dipping sauce. I can’t wait to see that steaming hot bbq chicken when I open up that crust!

[Trapper Gus]

Pasties were considered a high-class food in England, but only if made in the traditional way.

It's all marketing by people trying to take advantage of Pasty "name" with inferior and cheaper ingredients and then having to cover that up by adding "sauces" on top.  Sure, it is capitalism at its finest, but so is global warming.

Steve's letter:

To the honorable Cornish Pasty Association:

Hi. I like ketchup on mine but an internet bully is picking on me and says I'm wrong. I'm sad.
Do I have to eat with gravy like the bully says so?

For fun I’m going to make a ‘bowl’ out of the pasty filling. some days you just don’t want the crust and the filling is enough.
