Coney dog The first rule of Detroit Coney dogs: No ketchup. Never ketchup. The most iconic of Detroit's culinary creations just so happens to be one of the most simple to make, which is exactly why it’s so easy to eff up. Leave the fixings to Chi-town, and the Jalapeño-covered dogs to Seattle, and keep it Detroit-style by nestling a naturally cased beef frankfurter in a steamed white bun and top it with meat chili, diced white onions, and plain yellow mustard. That’s literally it. Find the recipe here. Photo via American Coney Island/Facebook

Ferndale Project 567 Livernois, Ferndale; 248-556-5512; ferndaleproject.com/ Beer. We. Need. Beer. If we can’t pop a cold one with the boys, we at least want to pop a cold one with our cats, which is what the Ferndale Project is all about. The Eastern Market Brewing Co. offshoot had the unfortunate experience of opening right when the whole pandemic thing took over our lives. But that didn’t stop the hopped-up crew from continuing serving up frosty IPAs, pasties, bags of coffee, and dog treats to the beer-thirsty masses. To accommodate the demand, they’ve pivoted to a curbside pick-up and delivery format. And good news: you can order online and their delivery radius is 25 miles outside of Ferndale.

Celebrating Detroit’s wonderfully weird traditions like Marche du Nain Rouge It happened in an instant. First, a concert at Little Caesars Arena announced its postponement, then another, then everything began collapsing and before we knew it, everything we’ve come to look forward to year after year was being ripped from our hands, including all of Detroit’s weird and wonderful traditions: namely Marche du Nain Rouge. Don’t worry, Detroit. We will run that little red MF’er out of the city once and for all, you know, next year. (Or support him, if that's your thing.) Photo by Steven Pham
