Detroit's food scene reflects the city's diversity. Mexicantown on Bagley and Vernor has the deepest concentration of Mexican restaurants in the Midwest. Dearborn, just west of the city, has the country's best concentration of Lebanese and Yemeni food along Warren Avenue. Hamtramck, the Polish enclave entirely surrounded by Detroit, has held onto the older Polish kitchens while adding Yemeni and Bangladeshi places. The suburbs of Madison Heights and Royal Oak have grown into Asian and modern American hubs respectively.
The signature local dishes are the Coney dog (a chili dog, served at hundreds of diner-style coney islands across the metro area), the Detroit-style pizza (rectangular, blue-steel pan, cheese to the edges, invented at Buddy's in 1946), and the brisket sandwich at Slows Bar-B-Q.
The downtown and Corktown fine-dining scene has matured rapidly since 2010: Selden Standard, Marrow, Chartreuse, Apparatus Room, and Folk are all worth a meal.
