Detroit

I had heard about Buddy’s from a few different sources, the place for traditional Detroit Style pizza. Apparently that means square, kinda medium dish, also really good. The bartender and waitress were funny and shy and amused at how happy I was to find their odd little rundown pizza place.

I know Detroit has troubles, big troubles, but really I never saw any reason not to go there, the people who have hung on are for the most part quite positive and really excited to show visitors all the reasons they are still there. I saw no shortage of cool things, enough to easily make a visit worthwhile.

Detroit

‘Detroiters call hot dogs “Coney Islands” or “Coneys”, what you get is a hot dog in bun covered in a thin chili, tons of raw white onion and mustard, there are a couple famous places to get them around the Detroit downtown, Lafayette and American but I was told to drive out to a kinda rough area and find Duley’s. Glad I did, Duley’s is crazy amazing, the picture above says everything. Two coneys is $3 and awesome, when you first arrive it is traditional to purchase a coney for the homeless gentlemen in the front of the photo. I went back to Duley’s a couple times while I was in town, for whatever reasons it’s the sort of place I am comfortable in.
