Part of the Michigan Guide Box 👉 https://michigan-guide-box.netlify.app/?src=yt-pasties The best pasty in Michigan is not where you would expect it. Most people buy their first pasty at the Mackinac Bridge. The shop at the top of this list is nearly three hours away, with a family recipe that goes back to 1946. The pasty came to Michigan with the Cornish miners of the Upper Peninsula, was adopted by the Finns, Italians and everyone else, and became the symbol of the U.P. In this video, we rank 12 Michigan pasty shops by how often they show up on Michigan's best pasty lists, the scores of the state's most dedicated pasty reviewer, and what people keep saying after they eat there. Along the way: rutabaga or carrots, ketchup or gravy, and the myths about the crimped crust.
