What makes the ultimate road trip food? It should be fast, easy to hold, not too messy, filling, and above all delicious. The destination is all the better if it’s in close proximity to a freeway (let’s not extend the car trip too long) and has great drinks.
In honor of Eater’s inaugural Road Trip Week, here find a guide to some of the best bets in metro Detroit for homegrown fast food, gas station cuisine, and carryout. Many of these spots serve sandwiches, wraps, and burgers because they’re naturally a little easier to eat in transit. For vegetarians and vegans, there are options here for you too. The only thing left to do is plan your next out of town excursion.
