When you are out west, lets say Arizona or New Mexico, the servers ask if you like Christmas.

If you say yes, red and green sauces appear on your table .Using green salsa or red salsa is the Mild (safe) way to go. Being authentic is using green habernero sauce (green hot chile pepper) and the red chili in popular Sriracha. Of course you can get used to the heat and might be able to go with Wasabi which is Asian and Way Hot. Asian is not how its done out West or in Southwest Detroit, its originally a coastal food addition - blame the hipsters

MORE All about the Sauce DETROIT

Jean of the Islands -All about the Sauce Part 2 (Detroit in my childhood was short on Caribbean influences and long on Deep South cooking, and as a kid I would rather Eat than Cook (2)... Having grown up in Detroit's Northwest section at a time when it was more Jewish than Black , I remember the bakeries that sold huge loaves of slightly sugary white bread. This bread was great for Dagwood sized sandwiches. When I started high school I discovered the food joints surrounding the school even though I had no lunch privileges off campus (1) during the school day...After school I would walk until I saw a bus, so a walk down Wyoming near Curtis on my way to 7 mile road was a chance to sample some of the best BBQ this side of the South. Thanks to the Great Migration, families had brought up their grilling, sauce and pork fixing traditions and each spot had its own style. This was before the era of Anita Baker singing near Fenkell. The west side had their...

Burgz is gone, Baggger Daves just folded in Bloomfield Hills, Hogans is gone , and that means ists shake out time. Downtown office people have the food trucks & Shake Shack is around. Rumor has it that the really good burgers are holding onto thier customer base only when they are prices about 10 $ and under. The sliver dollar sized burgers at Greenes cost oly 2.50 and make Hunter House Burgers in Birmingham look heavy handed- they are greasier and land like the grease bombs they are- but if you do not need to soak up beer or kill the munchies- the taste of the burger is Important. . Burger Week is July 30 to August 5th in 2018. With a new American pub burger at 45 Grand River that is worth the trip, and plenty...
