These 10 restaurants serve Michigan's Best Chili
 
We sent our Michigan's Best tandem of John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman to 30 restaurants across the state the past three weeks in search of the best chili our pleasant peninsulas can concoct. It was quite the culinary quest. They sampled dozens of chili varieties, from traditional to experimental to that-might-not-be-chili-but-it-is-still-dang-good. After all that, they produced a top 10 list and a desire for, get this, more chili. Said Gonzalez, "We never got sick of eating chili. They were all so good." MORE

Founders, Stryker dealing with PR fallout
hat 
Two of Michigan's most successful companies are dealing with sensitive issues this week and the negative press that comes with added scrutiny. Founders, the acclaimed Grand Rapids brewery, is dealing with a racial discrimination lawsuit. The case took a turn when a general manager during a deposition wouldn't say that a black employee was, in fact, black. Stryker Corp., a Fortune 500 company based in Kalamazoo, is facing a charge of alleged bribery in a foreign country. The company previously paid millions to settle similar charges in 2013 and 2018. MORE

High water, fall winds doing a number on Lake Michigan shoreline
 
It seems Mother Nature isn't done emptying out her can of Beach be Gone. This week's gale-force winds, coupled with already high water levels, conspired to gobble up large swaths of prime Lake Michigan shoreline. The pictures and videos from the past few days are quite spectacular. But, excuse us please, Mother Nature. We'd appreciate if you'd leave some beach when you're done. MORE

We sometimes forget that sports offers more than just a continuous flow of winners and losers. They can bring communities together. They can provide lifelong memories. They can make a difference. When that happens, everyone involved is a winner.  
Take a moment to watch these videos out of Schoolcraft and Muskegon. Just don't forget a tissue. You just might need it.
