We made a trip this summer to Chinatown in Chicago. They have some wonderful restaurants (especially when you need a GOOD Chinese food fix). Our favorite is called Lao Sze Chuan and specializes in spicy dishes. The owner also owns two other restaurants in the area that are less spicy if you prefer.

You can check out the Chicago Chinatown website for lists of businesses, restaurants, driving directions, etc. A wonderful getaway for a short weekend if you live in Michigan.
