In Detroit, “Coney Island” means something a little different than it does in New York and I just read all about it on Wikipeidia. Detroit chili is where it’s at, and that’s essentially what a Coney dog is – a hot dog with all-meat chili. And mustard. And onions, but I usually get mine without. [...]

Oh my goodness. What I would do. I love Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit. It’s practically the only place I get pizza when I’m in town. Maybe I should live a little and try new places but why fix something that ain’t broke? Buddy’s is the shiz! So we go there all the time. Above is [...]

Welcome to Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives! Okay, so that’s not my show, but it SHOULD be! Everyone is always astonished to learn that I don’t really watch any food shows on television, but one I really do like and would watch all the time is Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. And I should be the host. [...]

Happy birthday, Mom! Okay, so it’s not my mom’s birthday yet, but it will be in a few weeks and I will be out of town so we decided to have a little surprise birthday party in the D for her this past weekend. Not sure if the *surprise* part ended up working as well [...]

I went home last weekend for about four seconds. Had a flight going out Friday night and sat on the plane for three hours before it was canceled. The earliest flight I could get on the next day departed at 2:40 p.m. So I ended up spending only a good 36 hours in Michigan. But [...]

What else do you do in Hamtramck after you have a Polish meal? Go to a Polish bakery! New Palace Bakery, in fact. Look at all the treats: Lots of donuts, paczkis, cakes, cookies, angel wings, whatever. Soooo many treats. I really should have gotten a paczki cause I’ve never had one! Instead I bought [...]

Oh, Detroit. Sometimes I feel like I know so little about you! I went to Hamtramck this weekend for some real Polish food. I’m 50% Polish and it was my first time there. Polish Village Cafe is in the basement of a house. In Detroit. AWESOME! It was all Lynn’s idea and Lynn just got [...]
