green dot stables needs no introduction to any detroiter. this iconic eatery is on every “things to do in the d” list and has been visited by an entourage of the rich and famous. as with flowers of vietnam, it is quintessential detroit. it’s always busy, non-apologetic, economical (no food on the menu is more that $3) and filled with a mosaic of patrons that reminds you that there is a fantastic diversity in america’s most misunderstood city.
i’ve been a few times and my favorite sliders are the korean (peanut butter and kimchi) and the hot brown (chicken, mornay and bacon). any of the sides, whether it’s the cucumber, kale, fries or mac and cheese are all well worth a couple of bucks. the booze is dirt cheap and they carry a small but nice array of craft beer in bottles and on tap.
love the vibe and love the food and i visit often on trips through detriot...even if need to deal with hipsters.
