Michigan folks love their chicken, and that includes chicken sandwiches. It's obvious that chicken sandwiches are a favorite across the Mitten, and that even gets amped up as Thanksgiving approaches. I mean, turkey and chicken are two different things, but people still go after the poultry this time of year.

Now, a special chicken sandwich restaurant has announced the opening of its first restaurant in Michigan. It might expand even more, to boot.

SUPER CHIX has announced the opening of its debut restaurant in Michigan. The new SUPER CHIX spot is in the Detroit area, located at 17673 Hall, Rd., in Macomb.

"Macomb is the perfect location for Michigan's first Super Chix and the Hall Rd. is ideal thanks to its easy accessibility in this principal shopping corridor. Macomb is a great town with solid businesses and a vibrant, loyal, and fun community. Residents in the surrounding community, as well as travelers, have a new great choice for a fresh, superior-quality fast-casual lunch with healthy options, and dinner guests will discover a new quality eatery they can enjoy with family and friends. Congratulations to SUPER CHIX franchise developers Nate Houston, Eric Houston, Easton Perkins with operating partner James Wamser their team for another Super Chix opening," Darryl Neider, CEO of SUPER CHIX, said in a statement.

"We are pleased with our growth in 2022 in various markets across the country. The Macomb, MI restaurant is the 8th SUPER CHIX restaurant to open in 2022 and we anticipate many additional restaurant openings in the coming months – next to open will be San Jose, CA in two weeks and Ogden, UT the first week of November," he added.

"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.

TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food. Which are your favorite Michigan spots that you think should be featured on the show? Reach out to me on social media and give me some recommendations!

In total, Fieri has highlights 16 different Michigan restaurants on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." What can I say- we have some great eating spots here! View the full list of Michigan restaurants featured on the show below, and make sure to visit them at some point. View the full list here.
