    Default Best FOOD items in Detroit

    I need to ask everyone what their favorite food items are in Detroit and its surroundings. Not the best restaurants, but the best food items. In other words, if you were living in, say, Wyoming, which food items would you miss most from Detroit? Mine [[in no particular order): 1) hamburger from Marcus Hamburger 2) meat pies from Emily's deli in St. Claire Shores 3) botana from El Zocalo 4) Better Made potato chips

    and when you see produce prices in other parts of the country;
