Am I the only detroiter that things Buddy's Pizza isn't any good? The sauce belongs UNDER the cheese! And the cheese should actually be on the whole pizza, not just the center.

It is popular and kind of small so reservations help avoid long waits. It does have a front engine dragster inside as part of the decorations.
I don't think its all that pricey really, especially compared to other burger joints in the area. It would be a perfect get together place if it wasn't so busy. Valet is not necessary, but you might have to park on a side street.
We should still try - the car guy decor is outstanding.

I don't like it, too- we've stopped having lunches there years ago. Plenty of other places, like little cleasers, that is better.
As for Millers- I've been there once. And it was more than enough. A national chain like 5 guys is much better. Way, way, way over rated.
What to see in Dearborn, The Henry Ford is about it- although looking to see M plated cars that you have never seen before seems like a fun outing for many. The last few years before the recent Mustang was pretty amusing with all of the pictures. The only issue with that is the lack of camo'ed cars these days. The most recent one is the upcoming Continental- but it's been released enough that the cars are now uncovered.
Sounds to me like Millers is like Billy Goat Tavern in Chi town. I was totally unimpressed with BGT.

Speaking of un-camoed cars, I saw a Ford station wagon in Dexter about a week ago. Looked about Taurus size, blue, with an M-plate. What might that be?

Probably a Mondeo. Assuming you mean real station wagon- a car.
Other than the Flex/MKT, the current Taurus does not have a wagon body on it. But the Fusion/Mondeo still does- as it's the largest car that is generally available in Europe (not counting the Mustang).
And since I saw a similar car a couple of weeks ago, I'm pretty sure someone around here is playing with Mondeo wagons.

Wait, what? Little Ceasars is mass-produced crap, it's cardboard with as little toppings as they can get away with.

Right. And that >> Buddys.
I never understood the appeal to Buddys.

Good time to change that if you ask me.
In my past industry, nearly all my customers/retailers were Arabic. I can tell you with certainty that many big cities offer no good middle eastern food. Arabs in Cleveland and Columbus, OH gush with jealousy when you tell them you'll be eating in Dearborn/Metro Detroit.
As for good middle eastern food in Cleveland or Columbus, if anyone says the chain Aladin, I'll kick you in the nuts. Actually, I'll just feel sorry for you that it's the best you know.
Another unique Detroit experience is any Detroit Coney Island. Lafayette and National have been recommended already. The place is really a "diner", usually with a large menu. They are traditionally Greek family owned. The specialties are Gyro, Greek Salads and Coney Dogs.
They all serve a similar Coney sauce but that sauce is sort of unique to Detroit.
Truly unique, the Loose Coney. Still a hotdog bun but no hotdog. Rather, loose/crumbled hamburger in that hotdog bun then topped like a regular Coney (sauce, onion, mustard.) Yum!
SOB.. I'm getting hungry!

It's possible you just don't like pan pizza, I love it, and it being nationally ranked stuff kinda agrees.

If you have time during daylight I would suggest taking an hour so and driving West Jefferson from Dearborn towards the city until it hits Fort St, to East Jefferson until it looks like any other city. It's safe, and it gives you a good sense of all the different things that people think of when they say Detroit (real and imagined). You can't get lost because you're following the river, and you'll see the stark contrasts between different parts of the city without being in danger. It's one thing to have seen pictures, it's another to have seen it (maybe stopped, walked around a bit too). There'll be lots of places to eat along the way of all kinds of flavors and budgets.
