Glamorous Detroit

Believe it or not, I was hoping to return from The Motor City with tales of delish ethnic fare - and a newfound respect for Detroit and its culinary offerings.

Well, let's just say my hopes were dashed.

Even ventured into the city's famed Greektown district (pictured above), having researched the heck out of it to determine that Pegasus Taverna would be a good bet for dinner. Apparently, the night the Tigers won against the Yankees this flaming Saganaki hot spot was packed to the rafters, taking in more moolah than any night in its 24 year history. A good sign - or so I thought.

The place looked dumpy enough to be a Chowhound find. The waitstaff was friendly too. They had an amazing array of beers from Greece. But, the Inglenook wine on tap should have been a tip-off.

The food was resolutely nasty. Even the Greek Salad was a sad mess.

Needless to say, my flight home was FANTASTIC.
