Huh. Well this is an interesting cheeseburger. 
What the berkeleying berkeley is that E36 M3? That's almost as offensive as Chicago's famous casserole.
Well, Olga's is a Mediterranean place. I hate to say it, but if you go there and order a cheeseburger, you kinda deserve what you get. 
Next time get the Southwestern Chicken, it's pretty darn good.
Burger in a pita... You know, I am going to have to try that. I prefer pita over a bun.
That's a little less offensive now... but still dumb. I thought it was some stupid midwest concoction involving a pancake.
I'm still annoyed, but no longer raging.

While there are places scattered around the Metro area where that can be satisfied, i hear the higher density of establishments are on the other side of the Detroit River.
I kinda doubt Katie would dig that much, though.
You have missed the chance for a real detroit coney island restaurant, they are everywhere.
I would have recommend 1 regular coney, 1 loose coney and a gyro.
Margie strikes my as the type who likes chilli cheese fries. Always a good greek salad offered too. Likely grape leaves also.

The only two that actually matter are downtown. American and Lafayette. And IMHO, it's ok to like both, since they are different enough.
Meh, a coney's a coney. And pasties suck...
(puts on flame suit and dives for cover)
I would say to try a Bate's burger...but I like living too much.

The first sentence is blasphemy. The second I kinda agree with....
"Come on board my bus little boy, I have some candied booze in a Mason Jar"
insert evil laugh here.
Welcome to the hotel wierdo

What casserole? Springfield, Illinois is famous for horseshoe sandwiches that I don't like - but not Chicago.

Dissing a fancy hot dog is one thing, but be careful with the pasty bashing there boyo! Pasties are a fine culinary treat, but I wouldn't expect a pick-em-up truck owner to have the refined cultured upbringing to appreciate such rare delicacies.

To appreciate a meat pie? Somehow I think I'm just sophisticated enough to make that call.
And I seem to recall you serving "organic" hot dogs at one of your BBQs. Which negates your opinion on all matters hot dog.
How is an organic hot dog possible? 
Well, I guess I can see how it's possible, but that's as bad as fat free ice cream or chili without fritos. What's the point?
Also, they missed out on the cheeseburger. 2x pitas w/ bigger patty = win.
Pasties are an excellent example of authentic blue collar/peasant food: Use lots of inexpensive ingredients, season it up well, serve it up hot.
I had lots of them when I lived in da UP.
The only thing I remember for sure is this: Ketchup, (Any ketchup) always improves the experience....(Grin)

I think I actually rode in one like the seat on the right. And it was already old by the time it got to me, as the fourth of four kids.
Also, when I was eight, I used to spend every weekend in the summer riding out to Rhode Island in the back of an MGB with my nephew in my lap. Unfortunately, we would only fit back there with the top up.
Safety first...
(this one is for Steve)
This low-boy bus is the shiznit. Boy, would I give to re-power this thing and rock it as a tow vehicle.
Thanks for sharing the trip with us.
Today we spent a lot of time on roads that looked like this!
Then we got to our hotel.

I'll bet most pastie eating northerners own trucks.
The Firebird puts me in double trouble right?
My truck gets used like a truck. Try packing this in a Mini.
No need for fancy lumber racks, I'll just make some out of these scraps...

You are now in "the other Michigan." There are two Michigans. 1. Metro Detroit. 2. Everything else.
You are in a beautiful area!

G-Pa from the town of East Jordan and the Jordan River that flows into Lake Charlevoix. Amazingly beautiful area. If you can, take the pretty drive from TC to Harbor Springs, passing through Charlevoix and Petoskey. I could give you hundreds of cool places to check out in that area. Order the Whitefish! As you know, certain areas have their specialties. When in Annapolis, MD - Crab Cakes; Maine - Lobster, Ensenada, Mexico - Fish Tacos, etc... When in Northern Michigan, you have to have the Lake Superior Whitefish. The debate could go long and deep of where to have it (and how to have it) but the truth of the matter is that it pretty good anywhere up there. If you choose a restaurant and they do not have Whitefish on the menu in some fashion (baked, fried, broiled, etc.,) leave; you have made a bad choice. Any self respecting restaurant in the entire area will have it. If not, you are in some chain restaurant. Find the door and leave. Actually, a good test of a restaurant is to ask the hostess, "how do you prepare the whitefish?" This question assumes they carry it...and they better have a good answer. Whitefish favorites: Fancy: Whitecaps in Petoskey, MI Whitefish Grenoble Fresh Great Lakes Whitefish sautéed in a lemon caper and white wine sauce. Served with orange basil scented basmati rice and seasonal vegetables. $22 Simple but damn good: The Villager Pub in Charlevoix, MI Whitefish Platter 2 pc - deep fried in a light batter. $11.95. 3pc: $13.95 dinners served with french fries, coleslaw & tartar sauce. substitute baked potato for french fries - $1 I get up that way every couple of years these day. This year, first week of Aug for family reunion. As a kid, every summer vacation was 2 weeks at Gram and Gramp's.
