Overview
Delicious Detroit Food Tours Presents: People Mover Tour – A Legendary Taste of Detroit! All aboard Detroit’s tastiest ride! This elevated food adventure takes you above the streets and straight into the soul of the city, where legendary eats, local rivalries, and fun history collide. No traffic, no parking—just pure Detroit deliciousness.
- The Battle of the Coneys: Choose your side… if you dare. We kick things off with Detroit’s most iconic rivalry:
➡️ American Coney Island (serving legends since 1917)
➡️ Lafayette Coney Island (opened next door in 1924)
Same block. Same bun. Totally different loyalties. You’ll sample both and cast your vote in this mustard-splattered showdown. One rule: Detroiters swear allegiance to one—never both. What’s a Coney? A perfectly seasoned natural-casing hot dog smothered in savory chili, mustard, and sweet onions on a steamed bun. Simple. Sacred. Life-changing. - Reuben With a Detroit Twist. At Grand Trunk Pub, bite into their famous Detroit Corned Beef Reuben Egg Roll—crispy, savory, and voted one of the Top 5 in Detroit. Yes, it’s as legendary as it sounds.
- Square Pizza Royalty at Buddy’s. Buddy’s Pizza, birthplace of the iconic Detroit-Style Pizza. First baked in 1946 in forged steel pans from local auto plants, this square slice delivers a light, crispy crust with cheesy, crunchy corners that dreams are made of.
- Sweet Ending in Greektown. Save room—dessert awaits at Astoria Bakery, where you’ll enjoy a decadent Greek pastry that’s the perfect grand finale to this legendary feast.
Add in fun facts, rich Detroit history, and a lively guide, and you’ve got a tour that’s equal parts culture, competition, and carbs. Come hungry. Leave opinionated. Detroit will handle the rest.
