Each week, we ask a member of the college grad student community to share 3 picks related to one of their passions. This week, CITE doctoral student Travon Jefferson shares 3 favorite places to eat in Detroit:
Being from Detroit, Mich., one thing I love to do is go back home and indulge in the wide range of foods I’ve eaten growing up. Here are 3 of my favorite places to eat while I’m in the city! If you’re ever in Detroit, try and stop at one of these places:
- Coney Island (Detroit One or L George’s): There’s always talk amongst Detroiters about which Coney Island is the best in the city, and usually Detroit One or L George’s take the top spot. If you want an authentic coney dog, grilled chicken pita, or chili cheese fries, I highly recommend these places! And Detroit One is directly across from the Michigan State University building in Detroit.
- Breadless: A newer restaurant, but delicious and pretty healthy! They make sandwiches (I recommend the Jerk City Chicken) and wrap them in your choice of lettuce, collard green, kale, etc.
- Bucharest Grill: If you’re up for some Mediterranean food, I’d highly recommend Bucharest! They have some of the best shawarmas in the city! I’d usually get the Bucharest Shawarma!
