The Fly Trap on Woodward Avenue in Ferndale.
When I started watching Diner’s, Drive In’s, and Dives, one of the first restaurants I saw was a little joint in Ferndale, MI called the Fly Trap. At that point, J and I weren’t even dating and I had no idea that I would one day move to Lansing. Still, the diner looked awesome and I knew if I ever made it to Detroit, I had to find this place.
J and I got up and got going this morning. We figured since we live in Michigan, we have to go to the North American International Auto Show. My parents were going to drive up from Eastern Illinois last weekend and go with us, but the weather kept them home. They weren’t able to make the drive this weekend, so J and I decided to go on our own. One of the things we really want to do is see as much and do as much in Michigan as we can. We always took things in Illinois for granted and there are a lot of major events I’ve never been to. Would you believe I have never been to the Taste of Chicago? Me! A guy who blogs about food has never been to one of the premier food events in the country that takes place in my backyard. We didn’t want to do that in Michigan and the NAIAS is the equivalent to the Taste.
Before heading in to Detroit, we decided to stop and eat first. I have a short list of places I want to eat at in Detroit and the Fly Trap in neighboring Ferndale was one of them. Read the rest of this entry »
