From Miner’s Tradition to Your Adventure

While visiting his wife’s family in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Ken, owner of The Dough Miner Café, first encountered the pasty, a baked meat and vegetable pie brought by miners from Cornwall, England during the mid-1800s. Pasties were the miners’ meal since they were portable and eaten without utensils. These crimped, half-moon pies took root in the region and are still enjoyed by locals and visitors today.
