What started out in 1986 as a bait shop offering smoked fish, crackers, and Pepsi has evolved into a deli, cocktail lounge, and restaurant that brings to Drummond Island delicacies rarely if ever found elsewhere in the U.P.: Zingerman's famous "artisanal" breads from Ann Arbor, corned beef supplied to Detroit's Jewish delis, and Seattle's Best coffee (Starbuck's newly acquired alternative brand). Mike Helfand has always gone for quality food, going back to his boyhood in metro Detroit, when he opted for squeezed lemonade, not Kool-Aid, at his neighborhood stand.
Loaves of all varieties of Zingerman's breads are sold at Gourmet Gallery's International Marketplace, along with over 300 wines, 100 beers, and all manner of crackers, sauces, tinned patés, and specialty foods from far and near. (Each year the Helfands put up their own jams and jellies.)
