    That whole area is like Detroit's Disney World. Nothing is authentic, or even particularly good, but they know their customers are by and large not locals so they can serve Applebee's [[or lower) quality food at twice the price. The people eating at Kid Rock's aren't really risk takers, and they're certainly not looking to have an experience Downtown that's different from what they experience in the suburbs.

    Interestingly enough, many people in the neighborhoods [[outside of Downtown, Midtown, Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, etc) like Applebees, Friday's, IHOP, Big Boy, etc. 'Authentic' and "particularly good" depends on the audience. For some, it's Coney Islands, Captain Jay's, and the local rib or soul food place. Others prefer something entirely different. Most people [[city or suburban) aren't risk takers. Unfortunately, a lot of this kind of talk is just more divisiveness and pseudo-elitism...

    Great post Town Cluber. People eat what they like and that's why there are so many different choices. Works out good for everyone.
