As is tradition at Eater, we closed out 2020 by surveying local food writers and our own staff on various restaurant-related topics, and publishing their responses throughout the week. Next up: What was your best restaurant meal of 2020, either takeout or dine-in?
Serena Maria Daniels, Founder and Editor, Tostada Magazine:
I can count on one hand the number of times I ate out this year. What stands out the most was during a trip to northern Michigan with my partner. I had just finished a Zoom community journalism event from a tiny motel room in Onekama, Mich. and celebrated by dining at the Glenwood, one of those classic white-tablecloth restaurants that’s popular in the area. There was no space available to eat inside, which was just fine with me. Instead, we were seated at a picnic table on the front lawn, in a wooded, garden-like setting, where I had the almond-crusted lobster tails. It was a surreal highlight of the summer.
