6 Great Taquerias in Detroit
The 48209 zip code of Detroit is a hot bed of delicious taco activity, as I found out on a one-day whirlwind tour of 11 taquerias and trucks in the city. Though Detroit's Mexican Town is located in the area, the tacos we tried from the several joints located directly in Mexican Town were uniformly sub-par compared to some of the exceptional finds at the trucks, supermarkets, and loncherias nearby.A Sandwich a Day: Pulled Pork from Slow's Barbecue in Detroit
Detroit doesn't exactly have a style of barbecue it can call all its own, which is why Slow's, an institution-in-the-making on the main strip of Michigan Ave doesn't really have a style of its own either. Instead, you'll find their own versions of staples from around the country like Texas-style brisket, Carolina-style pulled pork, or St. Louis ribs.Ann Arbor, Michigan: Fantastic Chicken Tortilla Soup from Le Dog
Glancing at the tiny shack-like exterior of the Liberty Street location, which started as a lemonade and hot dog stand, you'd be excused for thinking their menu is still just as simple. Get closer though and you'll see a window plastered with signs describing a half dozen soups. Roasted Garlic, Broccoli Chowder, Cold Peach soup, and the like. Through an unfortunate turn of events, I found myself nearly shoeless on a cold, drizzly October morning in downtown Ann Arbor. Their Cheesy Chicken Tortilla soup definitely helped me deal with that situation.The Grandwich: 10 Sandwiches Compete in Grand Rapids, Michigan
How do you embody Grand Rapids, Michigan, in sandwich form? That was the inspiration behind the Grandwich competition, which was held at Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids this past Saturday. Organizer Nicole Infante wanted to celebrate the city with flavors as unique as the people who live there—and translate them into a sandwich. Check out photos of the ten competing sandwiches, and the winner of the Grandwich title.Hot Dog Of The Week: Lafayette Coney Island, Detroit
Squabbles between stands and manufacturers aside, I think the Detroit Coney should be considered one of the great American "Heirloom hot dog styles" that has stood the test of time—as important a part of hot dog history as the Chicago dog and New York Kosher style, and just as delicious.Hot Dog of the Week: Yesterdog in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Opened in 1976, Yesterdog is a funky hot dog joint in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving up deliciously messy dogs that go completely against the grain of the current gourmet hot dog trend. Breaking several cardinal rules of hot doggery, including the use of cheap boiled hot dogs and plenty of ketchup—right in the middle of Coney country!—Yesterdog instead espouses a greasy comfort food overload approach that has earned them a huge following.Hot Dog of the Week: Hard Shell Coney from Angelo's in Flint, Michigan
A hot dog in a taco shell? The Koegel's dogs actually fit perfectly in the shell, the snap of the natural casing combined with the crunch of the taco creating an awesome texture.A Sandwich a Day: The Bulgogi Hoagie at Broadway Cafe in Ann Arbor, MI
If Caroline's recent discovery of a very similar sandwich (minus the all-important American cheese!) in New Jersey is any indicator, perhaps this Korean hoagie trend really is taking off.Man in Michigan Attempts to Make World's Largest Meatball
It's good to have goals. And for Gerald Barkley, a math and science teacher at a community college in Michigan, last weekend it was to make the world's first 350-pound meatball. "It started as a joke," his colleague told the South Bend Tribune (you know, just one of those, ha, what if we made a 350-pound ball of meat? jokes) inspired by a couple of major meatball records set last year: first on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which was later bested by Nonni's Italian Eatery in New Hampshire.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
