Overview
Detroit is a food town. From the North End to the Riverfront, East and West of Woodward, Detroiters hold their restaurant allegiances dear. Join us as we explore the history of the “Big Three” of classic food in the Motor City – Fish, Burgers and Pizza.
On this 3.5 hour tour guests will enjoy a progressive style dinner, with plenty of food to fill even the hungriest bellies. Together with your guides you’ll explore three restaurants that have become classics in their respective cuisines.
You’ll learn the secret of the ‘you buy, we fry’ establishment, along with the post WW2 fish and chips boom before sampling fresh fried perch.
We’ll dive into the history of a famed greasy spoon, enjoying a steamed burger, and learning the story behind their odd choice of bun. And, we’ll visit a Detroit institution where we’ll indulge in Detroit style pizza still made in the original pans.
From Michigan food trivia to cooking demonstrations, feasting on Detroit favorites, to discovering the history of prohibition era soda pop you’ll learn about our delectable past as you travel via luxury motor coach from location to location.
Round-trip motorcoach transportation is included from Allen Park and Brownstown, MI.
Please note: No food substitutions or special requests. If you suffer from food allergies, have a restrictive diet, or are a picky eater this tour may not be right for you.
