The mobile fried dough outpost opens on Friday, May 10 alongside many other food vendors at 23302 W Warren Ave. in Dearborn Heights for the Ramadan Suhoor Festival. In addition to the sweet options, there’s also some savory items like the unfortunately named “PouTail” — a pastry slathered in poutine.
