Do I need to soak the split peas beforehand?

I did that once and put them and a crock pot and they disintegrated.

Thanks for putting Layfayette on the blog. I live in the suburbs of Detroit and besides our sports teams, and cars, this is what we are proud of.

I've had the Chicago Dog outside the Aquarium in Chicago and even at that location that was Damn good.

But when I'm home, and when I need a fix, the Detroit coney served at Layfayette, American, Kerby's and Leo's with the beef heart sauce is just delicious. Your right, you need a fork and knife for it...it wasn't meant to be picked up. And the sauce is also great on fries.

Thanks. It's good mood food.

And...I only live a mile from a White Castle and Red Coat.

God...I really want a good burger. I hate Winter.

I think that it's green leaf lettuce which is really good. it's firm and is great as a stand alone salad and gives it up good on a burger.

"I like split pea soup, and may try it with my Christmas ham bone next week if I can talk the family out of their usual navy bean soup. Why not just dilute it with more chicken stock to make it more soupy. As for leftovers, you could add sour cream for one meal, or hot sauce of choice or a variety of fresh herbs."

My lord we are almost on the same wave length. Except I will use my left over hambone from Christmas dinner to make a combination Navy and 16 bean soup.

I made Split pea with ham a week ago. I grew up with Navy Beans and bought a cheap whole ham from Krogers (sugerdale).

man...gooood fiber.

Good Lord. That is what a vampire would eat. Come on folks....undercooked? Do you just take it out of the package, throw it on a bun and eat it?

Man. So tired of being left out here in Detroit.

Zagat gives Five Guys kudo's.

What a joke.

What about all the gurgers that Detroit, Milwaukee and Clebveland have.

I would put Miller's Bar and Red Coat Tavern here in Detroit up against any Five Guys burger.

I've had the Five Guys Burger here in our Oak Park area. A tad...and I mean a tad above a Wendy's burger. Does it take real Mid westerners who eat real meat to tell the rest of the country that what they eat is not that good?

Man...ticks me off. Millers was in GQ's top 25. They nailed it. RedCoat will give you REAL BEEF and it's big.

Five guys has great atmosphere. People are fun and hard working, but by golly, they don't make that good aburger.

:)
and we use French's over Plochman's I think.

Michigan has no Hot Dog style. It has a Detroit style that has spread thru the state.

See the link on RELATED above. Dead on. the T-shirt is not close to being correct. Looks like just mustard. Missing the chili and the raw onion.

Guy is probably from New York or Chicago and just took a guess. This is serious people....He needs to get that dog right.

Damn....Tuesday morning after Labor Day and that Looks unbelievable!
Gimme Gimme Gimme!

I'm done with Ribs, back to the the burger.

And I drank a lot of carnation instant Breakfast in Junior hig. Probably the reason I had zits.

Ugh.

Maybe it's me but the bun looks dry and if the burger falls just short of meatloaf, then no thanks.

If you live near the Alibi, get the pizza.
Download the menu and enjoy.

For the sake of the article, the Detroit Free Press does this every year, including burger places, ice creams, etc.
