The dates for the 11th edition of Detroit Restaurant Week were anounced today. http://www.freep.com/article/2014082...Week-2014-fall
If Detroit had a "Hole in the Wall Week", which establishments[[ bar, restaurant, street vendor, etc) would you nominate to be a part of it?
Jose's Tacos or Steve's Detroit Deli
Define "Hole in the Wall..." :o
Well, it's in Northville, but it seems to belong, Genitti's Hole-in-the-Wall.
Of course for a real hole in the wall feeling, can't beat, Lou's Finer, or Scotty Simpson's, at least that fits my hole-in-the-wall image.
Steve's Detroit Deli is the best.Quote:

Dan and Vi's on Chene. Their deli slices are tasty and unique.
I think in this context it would mean any restaurant that puts so much effort into perfecting their food that they sacrifice everything else [[maintenance, lighting, painting, cleanliness, etc.).Quote:

Heh. Even their website is crap. But oh, that food! :p

Tucked away in the shadow of the Eastern Market is Cutter's, my favorite Hole in the Wall.

I so used to love the Round Bar on Chene, that was a real hole in the wall. Soup and bread, meat pierogis with sour cream, my favorite lunches of all time. Wish it was still there. Maybe there is another such hideaway.
Best burger in DetroitQuote:

Hygrades, Los Altos, Evie's Tamales.
Did we forget about Capers on Gratiot?
this is a great topic. when I think of hole in the wall i think:
1) Small
2) kinda off the beaten path
3) unpretentious
4) untrendy
I completely forgot about Capers. That place benefitted greatly from the smoking ban. 18 once delmonico butterfly cut with mushroom and grilled onions please.Quote:
