The Sidetrack Bar & Grill in Depot Town in Ypsilanti, MI, is popular locally-owned eatery, situated right next to the Amtrack line in a building that dates back over 120 years. The train schedule is posted, and it rattles the whole place when the trains rumble by. The interior is filled with an eclectic mix of railroad, sports and regional decorations (look for the moose). The menu covers a range of cuisines and appetites, and I've never had a bad meal at the Sidetrack. You gotta try their famous burger, sweet potato fries and deep-fried pickles!
Well...if you visit this fine establishment and order a drink or some of their fine food, the waiter will bring a tray of condiments to your table as standard fare. It contains, the usual ketchup, mustard, hot sauces, pepperocini, and (you guessed it), pickles!
I doubt that they're made by the Sidetrack, but they're basically a deli dill, but sliced into very thin disks. They serve them in a small lidded pot, as if you might wait long enough to stack them on a hand-packed burger or sandwich. They are the perfect munchie to snack on while you're waiting for your meal or drink. Mild and garlicy, these little delights are almost a signature part of the Sidetrack experience. Try the pepperocini as well...but beware, they can pack a punch!
