Motown Coney is a 100% certified un-heart smart (dump). The food is so unhealthy, it's gonna take 5 years off your life. Every morning I drive by and see all those Federal Marshals and DPD having breakfast...these people have every reason in the world to take better care of themselves. | ||

Duly dogs= Best coney in the city. Heavy chili, light onion, with mustard for me, please. The coneys on Lafayette get all the notoriety, but they can't touch Duly's. Holy Redeemer is across Vernor - ask any grad and you'll hear the same thing. | ||

Odd, I JUST found a Detroit News or Free Press clipping in my mother's lifelong collection of stuff that showed Dulys with a reflection of Holy Redeemer in the window. Some of my earliest childhood memories leap from the dusty recesses of my noggin every time I think of Dulys. Both of my parents and ALL of my aunts and uncles were Holy Redeemer grads...I'd bet, Homer, that you were within a year or so of a few Gannon's and Baranski's. That said, I haven't been INTO Dulys for years...I'll have to bump it well into the favorite rotation again. Ain't nothin' quite like a couple loose burgers soaked with ketchup that sends me back to the past. Talk about your comfort food... A few weeks ago my cousin slipped away from his step-father's extended wake in Corktown...we all thought he'd gone up to bed...he came in beaming out his story that the fellows at Dulys actually remembered him from when Jim and Ann (his parents) owned the bar across Vernor Hwy. We all had a good laugh, then pummeled him for NOT asking us if we wanted anything... | ||

I'm telling you, the breakfast is great. Something about the way they cook the potatoes. I wonder if they still use Brown's Buns for the hotdogs and hamburgers. This was a little bakery a block or two down Vernor, almost to Ferdinand. I went to Western High with the guy who owns it now. A great guy, very friendly. The guys that work there always make you feel at home. | ||

Jjaba, get thouself to Duly's! Lafayette Coney is not even close. Don't forget that its near the intersection of Lover's Lane (Junction) and Dix (W. Vernor). Next time I go, it'll be a coney with light onions, mustard and hot sauce and a loose burger. | ||

If we are discussing W. Vernor culinary ops, you guys should try Chicago Pizza on W. Vernor @ Lansing. They like to pull the pizza out of the oven early, so request it well done. A few yards west of Chicago Pizza, the weekend roast chicken guys are back!...10 bucks for a whole chicken with red sauce, beans and tortillas. Get there before five unless you like a long wait. W.

After a recent tour of Holy Redeemer Church and the mention in this thread, I finally rented "The Rosary Murders" so that I could see the church and other local sights. Maybe I should have re-read the book before seeing the movie (I've got all of Kienzle's books), because it was not what I expected in the way of storytelling and production values. But it was nice to see the Detroit sights and to pick out familiar faces among the cast and a couple of extras given that this movie is almost 20 years old. I did catch the scene at Duly's...will have to check it out sometime. | ||
