Historically Delicious Detroit

Detroit is a food town. From the North End to The Riverfront, East and West of Woodward, Detroiters hold their restaurant allegiances dear. The debate over the best coney dog or pizza have long been fought in the ink of The Detroit Free Press and News, on factory floors approaching lunchtime, and among authors, historians, service industry workers, and tour guides alike. Join Detroit History Tours as we explore the history of the “Big Three” of classic food in the Motor City - Fish, Burgers, and Pizza - Plus, a generous take home serving of the best darn Coney Island Chili Sauce this city has to offer (heck, it took the family over a century to perfect it!)

On this tour you will enjoy a progressive style dinner, with plenty of food to fill even the hungriest bellies. Together with your guide you’ll explore three (3) restaurants that have become classics in their respective cuisines. We’ll dive into the history of a famed greasy spoon, enjoying a steamed burger, and learning the story behind their odd choice of bun. And, we’ll visit a Detroit institution where we’ll indulge in Detroit style pizza still made in the original pans.

From Michigan food trivia to cooking demonstrations, feasting on Detroit favorites, to discovering the history of prohibition era soda pop you’ll learn about our delectable past as you travel via luxury motor coach from location to location.

We look forward to welcoming you, Bon Appetit!
