Others are looking for healthier, en- vironmentally conscious fare. Wolbert is hoping to pull from both groups, offering creative entrées with a focus on fresh, lo- cally sourced ingredients. “I really look at where our food comes from,” he said. “America has slipped to- ward a dark culture, where our only con- cern is flavor and not how it gets to our plate.” Wolbert’s favorite item on the menu is the Mutha Ducker, a beef burger dressed up with fried goat cheese, cherry-wal- nut conserve, arugula and house made duck pastrami. (“We can barely keep it in stock,” Wolbert said.) Other offerings include a grilled fig salad with kale and beef tenderloin and a lobster and truffle oil pizza. Midtown sources many of its ingredi- ents from local retailers, including pro- duce from Williamston’s Fox Run Farm and Lansing's Smith Floral. Wolbert has found the restaurant industry as a whole seems to be catching up with consumer demand for local options. “A lot of wholesalers are getting into the idea of local food,” he said. “I’m able to get locally sourced foods from my 14 City Pulse's 2016 Bar Issue • www.lansingcitypulse.com City Pulse • October 19, 2016

But Kwok knows it’s easy for a res- taurant to price itself out of the market in Greater Lansing. While big firms like Jackson National Life and MSU Federal Credit Union have brought an influx of young professionals, there is still a blue- collar core in the region that’s still recov- ering from the 2008 recession. “Incomes overall are lower, and peo- ple have to be conscious about how much they spend,” Kwok said. “We want to offer something affordable, so friends can get together.” An Okemos native, Kwok often found himself driving to Metro Detroit to seek $ out quality food. 16OZ3 BEER “A few years ago, I couldn’t eat around High abv or specialty beers not here,” he said. “I’d go to Ferndale, be- available for special.

There’s so much competition, and people want to get better.” Even Crunchy’s, the classic burger- and-beer bar just off MSU’s campus, is doing its part to raise the culinary tide. A three-time Best Burger winner in City Pulse’s Top of the Town awards, the pub is still looking for ways to improve its signature product. It recently switched from sesame seed buns to stronger bri- oche buns and has added creative varia- tions like a Black & Bleu Burger with bleu cheese and Cajun seasoning and a MEAT bacon avocado burger. “We’ve tried to improve our food with- SUPPORTs out gauging our customers,” said owner/ general manager Michael Krueger.

Woods’ mu- sic has been featured on VH1 and MTV, and she’s collaborated with a number of fashion brands, including NYM- sun. oct. PHA London and Betsey Johnson. While she’s been immersed in music since her youth, it wasn’t until her 2011 23rd single, “Gangstas, Geeks and Freaks,” that Woods gained national attention. The dance track later became the lead Eryn Woods single from her self-financed debut EP, “Holl.E.Woods.” Her latest single, “Rule Breaker,” was released in August.

The group, led by vocalist Brian Dales, has toured with bands like All Time Low, the Cab and Sleeping with Sirens. While the band reportedly broke up last year, it returned in April with its fourth record, the “Sto- ries for Monday” LP. The disc contains a number of hooky singles, including “Wasted,” “Jean Jacket” and fri. oct. “Missin’ You.” This year also marked the band’s first appearance at a political rally.

Jacques Driscoll, who owns several restaurants in Metro Detroit, announced he is bringing his Green Dot Stables concept to the city’s east side. “I was initially hesitant about opening (another Green Dot Stables bar), but there’s so much going on in Lansing right now. It seemed like a matter of right time, right place,” Driscoll said. “I think this is going to do well with both the students and the government workers. This isn’t a typical last-call kind of bar. It’s special.” The original Green Dot Stables, located in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood, specializes in craft beer and gourmet slider burgers. Choices include fried chicken Caesar, tofu bánh mi and Korean (with house-made kimchi) and side options like poutine, truffle fries and venison chili cheese fries. Driscoll bought the 12,000-square-foot building, 410 S. Clippert St., from longtime owner Dave Allen for $674,000. It had been the Whiskey Barrel for 11 years before it closed last month. Before that, it was home to Sparty’s Night Club, the Wayside Bar and the Brass Monkey. But Driscoll said that famous dance floor probably won’t get much use. “Right now we’re looking at turning that into HOLDEN-REID CLOTHIERS / GREEN DOT STABLES / ZAYTOON HOLT event space for special functions,” Driscoll said. “But Allan I.
