This is an easy one to find. Many know of this site as the place to go after the bars close in Royal Oak for their spin on the baked potato. This is a  true mom and pop eatery, nestled quietly in the otherwise exciting nightlife. Pull up at a table and enjoy your food while looking at the “old world” pictures on the brick wall.   The eatery is family friendly and with a great staff. Over the last year a buzz has started about a new dish called the “Chipatti” that was reinvented by the owner, Marilyn. If Marilyn is there, be sure to ask about the pictures and her name.

I love the Chipatti. It was one of the best meals I had in a long time. I missed Marilynn but I got the story behind the pictures anyway. I forgot to do the challenge.
Thank you for such a great hunt.
