Have you ever accidentally stumbled upon a restaurant that was unexpectedly good? Those out-of-the-way places are often the best finds. And sometimes they’re really, really hidden, which is the case with the Chelatchie Prairie General Store. Outside it looks like a simple convenience store, but inside it’s so much more.
