5 Reviews for October
Dimo's Deli & Donuts (2030 W. Stadium Blvd.) Like so many eateries, Dimo's has limited hours (breakfast and lunch) due to Covid. Currently they are open 6 am to 4 pm, which can lead to some items running out mid-afternoon. A main reason I patronize Dimo's is the hot pastrami and I was not disappointed. What was missing in our lunch order was the grape leaves, which were substituted for with really good falafels but alas not grape leaves. All was forgiven when we reheated the apple fritters the next morning. Yes Deli and Donuts.
Zingerman's@Home (422 Detroit St.) Our third try with the Zingerman's at Home menu but a repeat dish as we couldn't stop raving about the Ginger Glazed Salmon in August and this week that dish was back. Four orders this time around, we had socially-distanced guests. Sides were Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Cranberries plus Sweet Garlic Squash. Both sides and salmon were more than generous portions. On a side note, no matter how, where or when you interact with employees at any of Zingerman's establishments, they are uniformly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
No Thai (Kerrytown) Yes, four months is a row. I guess I can no longer suggest this isn't an endorsement of No Thai. There was a minor screw-up on the timing of delivery on our order but I assume that was karma because the blog title is "curbside" and I ordered delivery. The drunken noodles were perfect as always and the spring rolls remain divine.
Hotel Hickman Chuckwagon BBQ (8050 Main St. in Dexter) Look there are a lot of good BBQ places. Each to his or her own favorite. In our case we may have a couple of favs. However, one of us has a long remembered affinity for Dexter back when it was a village. Hotel Hickman occupies a space that has been the village library, the police station, the village council chambers and rumor has it a speak-easy. On the other hand, the BBQ is chuckwagon old west style, we have a strong prejudice for that style of Q. They also have truly memorable apple, cherry and bourbon peach cobbler and they serve breakfast. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 6 AM 'til 7 PM.
Bell's Diner (2167 W. Stadium Blvd.) Yes, another repeat but this time we actually only got one order of Bi-Bim-Bop (bibimbap or bibimbob). As I've said before, Bell's is a real diner. So I indulged in a patty melt with onion rings, comfort food for these scary times. It was Halloween after all.
