Green Dot Stables - A Sure Thing!


My daughter and I were near the end of a great day together.  
We'd picked up breakfast from Avalon Bakery, 
shopped the Eastern Market, 
explored Belle Isle's Conservatory, 
and finally,
driven across Detroit for
what she promised to be
a treat.

It was a little spot at 
2200 West Lafayette called, 
"Green Dot Stables".

There was a horseshoe on the entrance door.

Hmm...a sign this place needs luck
or
just a decoration?

Thirty minutes, one shared meal of five sliders, a salad, two orders of fries, one cool Summer Soda, and a Mint Julep later,

Summer Soda:  Lemon-Basil-
Cucumber-Vodka-Soda
House Salad: Chickpea-
Tomato-Cucumber-Herb Vin


Lamb Slider: Rosemary
Hummus-Pickles
Shredded Pork Slider:
Pork Butt-Slaw
and
Au Poivre Slider:
Beef-Peppercorns-Cognac Aioli
Hot Brown Slider:
Chicken-Mornay-Bacon
and
Mystery Meat Slider:
Today's mystery was
Lengua.




The Quintet (my moniker)

Truffle & and Herb French Fries

Le Poutine French Fries
















 I concluded
luck wasn't an issue.

Green Dot Stables is no outsider!

It has the winning combination of
great food prepared from scratch,
"Just Right" portions,
reasonable prices, 
and a pleasant atmosphere!

Get in the home stretch for Green Dot Stables.
Odds are,
you'll enjoy it!
