Steak and Eggs at Karl's Diner
1509 Broadway St., Detroit; 313-855-2757; karlsdetroit.com
It would seem on the surface that Lady of the House chef Kate Williams dialed it down a bit for her new diner concept in downtown Detroit's Wurlitzer Building, but a more informal setting doesn't mean a drop in quality. The steak and eggs are a simple dish, but built on Karl's excellent sourcing. The giant plate filled with two eggs and super tender and tasty teres major beef from west Michigan's Cover Crop Ranch, and it's likely the highest quality steak that you'll find next to a pair of sunny-side-up eggs. The dish is filled out with a generous helping of fried redskin potatoes and a milk gravy made with sweet Vidalia onion, roux, rosemary, cayenne, and a finish of sweet sherry. —Tom Perkins
