Description
Bessies is in St Ignace, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. It's always a favorite place for us to stop when visiting the area, you can eat in the barn or outdoors on the deck. Pasties, popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, have a particularly unusual history, as a small influx of Finnish immigrants followed the Cornish miners in 1864. These Finns (and many other ethnic groups) adopted the pasty for use in the Copper Country copper mines.
