I had Checker's a couple weeks ago for the first time and it was very good. I like the Detroiter for the sheer decadence of a 1/2 lb burger with bacon, ham and two types of cheese. It's a great deal especially if you eat half and take half home [[put a fried egg on it for breakfast the next day). I just had Red Coat for the first time too and that was also a winner, up there with Miller's and Checkers.

As a kid I used to love Daly's burgers Used to love taking a bike ride down the hill [[the Warren Ave and Outer Drive location) to get a burger and a shake after some baseball. Just 20 years ago kids still played and organized their own baseball games.

For fast food, I've rekindled my love affair with White Castle.
