Pretzel Bell is putting names and faces behind the ingredients on its plates.

The downtown Ann Arbor restaurant at 226 S. Main St. launched new lunch, dinner and weekend brunch menus Tuesday, Aug. 11, built around a program called "From Our Neighbors" that spotlights Michigan farmers, bakers, butchers and artisan food makers, according to MLive.

Rather than cordoning off local items into a separate section, the restaurant wove Michigan-sourced ingredients throughout the entire menu. Eleven producers made the cut, including Ann Arbor's own Sparrow Market and Zingerman's alongside Grand River Bakery, Michigan Turkey Producers, Dearborn Brand, River City Meats, Ludington Meat Company, Louie's Meats, Wilson's Cheese Shoppe, Blank Slate Creamery and Mama Mucci's.

Diners can scan QR codes printed on the menus to learn about each supplier.

"When people think about Pretzel Bell, they think about Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan and decades of memories," majority owner Jon Carlson told MLive. "As we refreshed the menu, we wanted to honor that same sense of place through the food we serve."

Specific dishes tied to the sourcing push include a hand-made Bavarian pretzel from Grand River Bakery topped with salami, house giardiniera, horseradish cheese and whole grain mustard; the Varsity Burger and French Dip using River City Meats; a Michigan Turkey Burger from Michigan Turkey Producers; and a Sparrow Market Family-Style Porterhouse available for tables of two to 10. The weekend brunch features Eggs Benny on Grand River Bakery English Muffin Bread, Brioche French Toast and Chicken & Waffles.

A Hatfield Pork Schnitzel served with red cabbage, house-made spaetzle and onion gravy nods to Ann Arbor's German heritage.

General manager Carley Burkett said the restaurant's commitment to local suppliers isn't new, but the "From Our Neighbors" branding makes the sourcing story intentional and visible to guests.

Carlson, a University of Michigan graduate, reopened Pretzel Bell at the Main Street location in April 2016 with partners Greg Lobdell and Chet Czaplicka. The original Pretzel Bell opened on Liberty Street in 1934 and served as a gathering spot for students, faculty and townies before closing roughly 30 years ago.
