Canadian pastry chain opens metro Detroit food truck
Prolific Canadian doughnut chain BeaverTails has arrived in Detroit with a new food truck. Founded in 1978 at a regional fair, the company is known for its elephant ear-like fried pastries called BeaverTails. Each pastry is topped with options like apple pie filling, crushed cookies, and cinnamon sugar, according to a release. 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.
