👋🏽 Hey, it's Sam! I tried the spicy chicken sandwich from Babo Detroit for lunch yesterday and it was delicious.
The intrigue: I'm on a quest to find Detroit’s best chicken sandwich. Babo — which is known for its all-day breakfast menu — ranks below Big Bo's or Penny Red's, but still delivers a high-quality $14 sandwich.
Details: Babo plops a gochujang battered chicken breast in between mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, McClure's sweet and spicy pickles and a challah bun.
- Together, those things make for a fantastic eating experience that might just force you to wash your pants afterward — that sauce is drippy!
- Next time I'm here I’ll probably try the jerk chicken tacos, a favorite of Piston Isaiah Stewart, according to the menu.
If you go: Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-5pm, Sunday from 9am- pm at 15 E. Kirby St.
