Next time, try Till Midnight in Holland, Toulouse or Chequers in Saugatuck, and Everyday People Cafe in Douglas. The other restaurants in Saugatuck also do a fine job of food preparation and, if you carefully assess their menus, you will discover that they are providing a range of options in food and price because not every person or family who attends their restaurants arrive with the desires and finances of those who frequent The Common Grill.I have eaten at Toulouse and it was very good, but it was a couple of years ago - not in the span of the vacation I was writing about. And I also remember some decent breakfasts at Everyday People Cafe. So I stand slightly corrected.

We Get Letters - II: It's beginning to look like I might not get to Saugatuck this year, for the first time in a few years. Sad. Reader Swhiteb read my little summer vacation essay and took issue with my mild disdain for the restaurants in the Saugatuck/Holland area.
