Ross Township (Richland / Gull Lake area) -
This restaurant - South Kitchen - just opened in November 2020 in the small, unincorporated community of South Gull Lake (Ross Township). You can see it under construction on Google Maps,
here. Gull Lake is historically (and currently still) home to some of the wealthier families and pricier real estate in Michigan. It is home to the W.K. Kellogg Manor House (now owned by MSU). It is north of, and partway between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.
November 2020 was probably about the worst timing ever for a new restaurant opening, but the
menu looks amazing - from their

Low like the part of the country where time seems to slow as you cross the Mason-Dixon Line. Low, like the puttering shrimp boats as they come off the horizon after a long day. Low, like the hum of a gospel choir as they set the chord for the song to take wind. This is where it all starts... Low & from the heart.

It's projects like this that usually slip under the radar but contribute a whole lot to a locale's sense of identity and place. The owners also operate the nearby Chicken House and Kitchen House restaurants in Richland. They re-opened at 25% capacity for in-person dining on February 02. This is some of my favorite genre of food, and I am looking forward to getting take out from here soon.
