Thank you Detroit Free Press for including The Yardbird on this list!

The corned beef reigns supreme in the Detroit area, but there are a handful of other sandwiches that have defined the region. Here are five of them.

Join our food truck at Charity Tailgate at Stadium Club 327 For the better part of a decade, we’ve posted up at 327 E Hoover before games. Free to enter and open to the public - the b**r garden is the closest bar to the stadium. Bonus - you can watch the Michigan band march into the stadium right in front of the tailgate.

Find us inside the Big House!! Our brand new stand is in section 26, near the NW corner of the stadium. We have the fuel you need to climb back down to your seats.
