A well-known mom-and -pop joint in the heart of Downtown Detroit, The Clique Restaurant on East Jefferson. It’s real easy to miss, but once you see it, you can’t ignore it. A lot of city workers-myself included-have made it their haven over the years. And many of Detroit’s politicians and media outlets frequented this joint then, and some still do today.
With that said, let’s just dive into the good eatin’ that my wife and I scarfed down. And BTW, when I first introduced my wife to this joint, she’s been in love with it ever since!
Now, the grub:
Their Silver Dollar Pancakes. As small as they are, these babies pack a wallop for its flavor.
Grits and cheddar cheese, along with a chicken breast omelette, with some hot sauce sprinkled on it.
Next time you’re in Detroit, be sure to check out this iconic diner on the corner of Rivard and Jefferson (on the southeast corner).
All gone! Will be back again.

Depth of Field and Rule of Thirds definitely complement one another in this image.
Oh boy, have I got something to share this afternoon! On the first day that we got some good weather in the OBX, I was craving some mad, seafood! My wife looked up a surf-and-turf restaurant between our rental home and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. Fat Crabs in Corolla, NC. Best yet so far…
Just to set the tone, I had a bowl of clam chowder, I dug into it immediately (sorry folks, no picture of it, maybe next time)!
But here’s what I had…
Clams, oysters, mussels, mac-n-cheese, hush puppies (I haven’t had hush puppies in a good long time)! I was eating like a king, baby! No turf, just surf! And I was surfing my butt off, too! Case in point: The pic above with the food, now you see it…
Now you don’t! And that empty bowl was the clam chowder I had as well.
So the next time you’re in the OBX, and you’re in the borough/in the island of Corolla, be sure to check out Fat Crabs.
You won’t be disappointed (unless you’re expecting margaritas, which they don’t serve due to a lack of a liquor license), it’s worth every single penny just being there!
God’s beautiful creation that brighten one’s day indeed.

Our final day in the OBX. Back in Detroit (St Clair Shores).
Something I tried to shoot with my iPhone. I guess you have to blow this image up to see them. Even though I shot this in the dead of night, I didn’t have the proper lens for my Canon 70D needed to get that “Milky Way” picture.
In spite of the fact that something actually did come from this shot, I can’t tell whether I’m seeing grain or stars. I’ll say this, tho; The stars were very numerous to say the least.
Further proof that there is a creator of the universe around us!
It was nice while it lasted. But I have much more to share after this…
