Best Restaurants in Mexicantown Detroit

Best Restaurants in Mexicantown Detroit

A quick lunch trip to some lesser-known restaurants in Mexicantown Detroit that includes a stop at Taqueria Lupita’s and some post-lunch goodies at the glorious La Gloria Bakery. My company recently moved to downtown Detroit, and my coworkers and I have been having a great time sampling nearby lunch spots. Detroit’s Mexicantown, a very short drive away, has a lot to offer, but I just want to offer a quintessential gastronomical adventure: lunch and dessert in under an hour. This ...

Bangkok 96 in Dearborn

Bangkok 96 in Dearborn

Bangkok 96 in Dearborn is a non-nondescript restaurant off of Telegraph. At first glance, it’s not a place that stands out, but then you notice something, the parking lot is always full. And I mean always. Since my usual Thai spot had recently closed, I needed a new place to feed my Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour addictions. We started off with some fried tofu and some spring rolls. We never order any appetizers, the plates here are huge, ...

Detroit Pizza Tour - Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Detroit Pizza Tour – Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Inspired by a story on the best pizzas in metro Detroit, I have landed on a noble goal: get an accurate education in Detroit pizza. In my research on Detroit pizza, I was pleased to discover that Detroit is considered by James Beard Award-winning food journalist Alan Richman to be the 3rd best pizza city in the nation. Just behind New York and San Fran, and perhaps surprisingly (though not to me) above #4 Chicago. Little known to Detroit dwellers ...

5 Flavorful Michigan Breweries Worth The Drive

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Michigan’s numerous, unique beers. For many Michiganders, summer and beer go hand-in-hand.

Michigan, of course, has endless top-notch choices when it comes to craft beers and Michigan-made brews. In fact, our state is currently fifth in the U.S. in the number of breweries, microbreweries, and brewpubs, according to ...

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

It was probably foolhardy to attempt a list of only five great metro Detroit corned beef sandwiches. We headlined the list “great” not “best” — because, as we acknowledged in the introduction, metro Detroit is full of places serving terrific versions of this indulgent sandwich. Nevertheless, so many readers wrote to rave about their own favorite places that we’re breaking with tradition and offering a second list. It’s only five more, so it still might not include your favorite brunch, diner or ...

Going out for brunch is totally optional. Maybe that’s why people enjoy it so much: It’s a luxury, plain and simple. The food is always indulgent, cocktails are allowed, and no one at the table has to do the dishes. We never tire of brunch, which is why we’re always on the lookout for more great ones to try.

5 Great Places For Topped French Fries in Detroit

5 Great Places For Topped French Fries in Detroit

Based on the Great Detroit Poutine Explosion of 2012, one would think that the gravy-and-curds combo is the only way to get one’s french fries topped in this town. Thankfully, for those of us who love a deep-fried tater, that is a complete and utter fallacy. Fries topped with goodies other than poutine are available all over metro Detroit, from Greek feta and lemon to a simple dusting of rosemary and sea salt. For five great topped fries big enough ...

Pizza Papalis Detroit

Pizza Papalis Detroit – Another Stop on the Detroit Pizza Tour

Great things are said about PizzaPapalis, which has five locations in metro Detroit (seven if you count the combo Rio Wraps locations, where they have a limited menu in combination with wraps). This locally-grown, beloved restaurant, which started in the 80s, has ridden its popularity all the way to a location in Toledo. So I was excited to give it a try. Especially since there’s one not too far from my home. I must admit I never even noticed Pizza ...

Tomatoes Apizza Farmingtom Hills – Humbly Amazing

Tomatoes Apizza Farmingtom Hills – Humbly Amazing

This installment of the Detroit Pizza Tour takes us to Tomatoes Apizza, located in the uppermost reaches of Farmington Hills, a stone’s throw from West Bloomfield Township (right on the 14-mile dividing line). Tomatoes Apizza actually has two locations, both in Farmington Hills. I choose to review the 14 Mile location because I’ve had pizza from both and prefer it. Could it have something to do with the coal-fired pizza oven? The more southern location, on Halsted, uses a brick ...

Loui’s Pizza - The Real Deal

Loui’s Pizza – The Real Deal

In the unassuming, working-class suburb of Hazel Park, within a mile of Detroit Proper, lies a legend among pizza joints: Loui’s Pizza. My first introduction to Detroit-style pizza was Buddy’s, a legend of its own with 9 locations in the Detroit metro area. But part of what makes Loui’s so special is that there is only one. Loui’s Pizza is so adorable in its ambiance as to trump any Buddy’s atmosphere I’ve been to. There are literally hundreds of basket-cradled ...
