I traveled a little out of my East Lansing comfort zone for the ultimate weekend comfort food — a bacon and eggs breakfast at The Golden Harvest, 1625 Turner St., in Lansing. And after my experience there, I’ll drive the extra couple miles west on Grand River Avenue to hit up this Lansing breakfast nook instead of confining myself to East Lansing.

Perhaps this made it that much more intriguing.

While we certainly have our share of cookie cutter fast food joints and a few pizza places, what we do lack is a solid 24-hour restaurant close to campus.

Of course sports bars are a vital part of society. Another necessary aspect such sports bars bring to the table (literally) is spinach and artichoke dip.
