Good question. I’m overjoyed that the Superbowl is hosted in Detroit
\nthis year. Way I see it, an NFC team has a shot at winning a game played
\nin the Motor City during the playoffs. That hasn’t happened
\nin a
\nwhile<\/a> (plus, the games against Dallas and Green Bay in ’91 and ’93
\nwere in Pontiac, anyway). So, as we approach the Detroit Superbowl, I need your
\nhelp. 
\nWhat’s more fearsome than a Seahawk?<\/strike> What’s Detroit’s
\nmarquee food?<\/i><\/p>\n

My first (bad)
\nguesses revert to up-state gourmet such as venison stew and Mackinaw Island
\nfudge. Or nuts-n-bolts, middle-Michigan (elsewhere?) parlance for Chex
\nmix. For our Super get-together, I’m thinking about trying (from memory) a
\nvariant of Tirechange Chili (some call it hunter’s stew). Ideally, I’d
\nsugar up on paczkis afterward, if only I knew how to make them. <\/p>\n

The ultimate Detroit food, however, is the
\nconey dog<\/a>.
\nConeys and chili cheese fries (using
\nKoegel Franks<\/a>?). Of
\ncourse, you could mod out the dogs with any mix of Soul food (collard-topped
\nconeys), Meditteranean (couscous-topped coneys) and Italian (deep dish coneys)
\ninfluences. That’s probably the best I can come up with. Anyone else
\nwith a suggestion? What food makes Detroit proud and is suited to
\ncooking for a Superbowl party?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
