With all the new chicken and rib places popping up all over the metro Detroit area, let’s not forget about the places that have been around “forever” and are still doing it right. Looking for some "Fun Food" for this weekend, give Mr. Chicken in Redford a try for some delicious broasted chicken and fall off the bone ribs.

The big game between Michigan and Michigan State is tomorrow and we wanted to share some of our favorite tailgating food for the big day.  These recipes are not only delicious but also easy to make.  Teresa’s Buffalo Chicken Dip is super creamy and delicious and can be served with anything. The Chili is really hearty and not too sweet or spicy.  The Caprese is so good and refreshing as well as easy to make and the Philly Steak Quesadillas are a nice twist on an old classic.

Earlier this year, when we were doing some favorite fried chicken postings, Mara Mazzoni recommended we give Bon Chon in Farmington Hills a try. We usually do not feature chain restaurants, unless they are a local franchise, but after trying Bon Chon we had to give them a shout out.

This week we are venturing to Plymouth, specifically Plymouth’s Old Village, to Hermann’s Old Town Grill. We don't know how we haven't featured Hermann’s in the past. It is the type of place we are drawn to, and only a few miles from where we live. It is a great neighborhood bar/restaurant that has everything we look for when we go out. A great selection of domestic and craft beers, nice pour of bourbon, good food, lively atmosphere, game room and a moose head over the bar.

his week, for Fun Food Friday, we are venturing to The Charlevoix in Grosse Point Park. Our intention was to get to the Cadieux Café . . . but they were not open at the time we were in the area, so we happily called an audible and ended up here and what a good audible it turned out to be.

Who out there doesn’t love good fried chicken? I know I had seen Krispy Kruncky Chicken in my local travels and found they are in a few locations around us as well so we thought we would give it a try.

This week we made some Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps, but we substituted the chicken for ground turkey. Total prep and cook time is about 40 minutes, and they can be made the day before and heated up when you are ready to eat them.

Keeping with the quick and easy things to make at home this week, we are making Chicken Quesadillas. These are something we have often in the Becker household. They are quick, easy to make and most of all delicious!
