I am actually curious as to what people think about the Burger King on Woodward at Farrand Park hooked to the Sunoco gas station. How's the service? Food? Look? I went in there for the first time a few months ago and I enjoyed my experience....nothing like their whopers!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH @ HP WATCHMAN Damn everytime I past the Buger KIng & Sunico I always see it on Woodward between Beresford and the Davison Fwy. However years ago there use to be a McDonald's on the westside of Woodward between Avalon & Glendale which was facing Farrand Park> I am not bashing your post however I am helping you with your directions & locations. Wrong information can be misleading.

Jeff, you're right again.McDevils,BurgerNSome, White Gaskets,and Taco Catch Hell is all guts busters.I have notice outsiders is getting permission to open restaurants,and my freedom to think the way I think would a Black Restaurant owner get permission to open a Black owned Soul Food Family Restaurant? It would beat the hell out of the guts busters and the GasBusters.

I know that white people have been conspiring against anyone opening a Soul Food Family Restaurant. You're right on William. White people are trying to take over Highland Park and that means black restaurants must be prevented. White people must be taking away your freedom to think by denying you soul food. Oh yea, and again, I LOVE YOU!!!

Urbanator Back in the days across 8 mile was a soul food place on the Royal Oak Township side.There was the old Duke B B Q on 8 Mile & Gardenlanes,and there was another downhome soul food place in that use to be small shopping center where Allen's Supermarket use to be right there as you cross 8 mile.Now anywhere on the other side of *8 mile you have white folks who think that they are soul food specialists,and they food taste like foam rubber.

Back in the Day's was in Ferndale... Township begins closer to Republic. Fast-food soul-food sounds likefoam rubber and "Family Restaurant" has become a bag handed to kids more interested in the toy than food.

Fast food chains are easier to get started but a "Black owned Soul Food Family Restaurant" can get permission... it would make a killing in this area!

Back then Soul Food was just a Black man's thing.Whites used to send their handy wipe Spooks to go buy a plate or a sandwich because they was afraid that one of their klan members might see them coing on a Black Business and they might get hung for being a Negro Lover.Also I am wondering since Highland Park is a 98% Black city,why there is only one (no more then two) black owned eatting places? Out there is the real world on here is a place to escape and live in a world from the real world.

What are you waiting for William? You've identified a community need and demand for Soul Food. You've also keenly observed that white people in the suburbs enjoy Soul Food also. Where would be a good location so people would feel safe and comfortable patronizing your new genuine best Soul Food restaurant that had people streaming into Highland Park to taste? Often imitated but never duplicated.

Willam Akbar X's Soul Food Restaurant at the intersection of Woodward and ....

A franchise arriving soon near you too!!!

I see you in that big Cadillac already.

Awwww Anonymous Sorry but I use a bike.Big cars & Homes does not excite me.That's for those who can afford them___like you. Naw Naw Anonymous I am not the one who deal with the negetive attitudes of the public (both White & Black). However there is other Brothers here in Highland Park who can cook.How would it sound if we had a Art in the Park Soul Food Restaurant.We both is from North Carolina,and believe me North carolina people can cook.Man I love your typing jive hahaha I will use that saying in my community work (Often Imitated but never can be Duplicated.You know you sound like you from the old school with that game.So if you are not part of the Anonymous klan,pick a real name and showcase that game you got that's strong,and you won't go wrong.Hey for some real soul food visit the Akbars Restaurant on Fenkell two blocks west of Meyers Rd (No Relations)Check the Brother out over there.They have some nice muslim & soul food cooking.

Red Hots is still there, ate there on Sat morning, before I went to the Airport. Wasn't, and I know I'm going to spell this wrong, Annarktoon's aSoul food/Muslim Restraunt. It was on Woodward, about Calvert? Ate there many times, and the food was great. Or how about Lousinaa Creole Gumbo, on Gratiot, near Mt. Elliot.

" Greetings " Mr Sir Hillard. The Brother have closed his business I believe,and he's now doing business in the Presto Mall if I am not by mistaken.However the next time you in town visit the Presto Mini Mall.Sure Detroit have many good soul food spots,but we was speaking about Soul Food in Highland Park,and I hope Blacks will invest in the city like Whites is doing.The best soul food cooking is done by a black person who can cook.Ain't nothing like a good home cooked soul meal.That's one talent whites will never take from us.

In the same way some whites learn to play jazz, shoot a jump shot, and clap in rhythm, shouldn't it be possible for them to cook good soul food? William, maybe you and your friend from NC could shoot the instructional video? $29.95 at Amazon.com.

It might be wise to get one white collaborator to water down the funk just a bit. Make it more palatable to a white audience.

I see you riding your new bike now! To the bank! To make a big deposit!

If you ever see me riding anything you hop your ass on back.Like I have posted many times before the white man's time have ran out,and all is left now is wannabes and wishers.At my age now I can still play basketball,and can out hoop any white boy around.Most whites who own a food business hire Blacks to cook the food,and believe it or not white men can't boil water without burning the pot hahahaha.Ask any white woman what do they see in they Black man,and most white women will tell you the real deal.Blacks was born with the gift of playing music.Whites have to learn how to sing or play music.Let's take a look back at the AWB band,or the Doobie Brothers,and even Hall & Oates.Each one of them had a Black band member or backup singers to carry the groove.The ONLY badass White girl I ever heard who could sing her white ass off was Janis Joplin.The rest sound like they have the shits in the lungs Hahahaha. So don't tell me a white boy was born talent.Opps yep he was born with a talent to eat out at the (.Y.)

Ummm Anonymous Regardless to my feelings I have taught my Children about how sneaky and racist SOMEONE white folks are,and how they will dis respect you,and they demend you respect them.However Anonymous I have a few white friends who have a Black Dad or a Black Ma,yet the black blood line can be seen in their everyday lifes.They do not bash Whites or do they bash Blacks.They are everyday for real people (not put ons). Anonymous since you are investigating me what about yourself? Are you Black but on here act white? Do you teach your Kids and Grandkids the difference between a Black person and a nigger? Most whites say He's a Black guy in the public,but when it comes time to return to the Suburbs Damn them Niggers is sick people.I am title to think the way I want to think regardless to if it's good or Bad.Just like this mess on here (this website) the shit really did not hit the fan until Stephen refused to look into the matter,and do something about this anonymous attacking bullshit.Again being an anonymous is okay with me if that floats your boat.However I think it's a form of being a coward.I don't mind people knowing who I am I wasn't born to please nobody.However if I can help that's why I was placed on this earth aka my earthly mission.In closing Anonymous if you had been paying attention to my posts you would have seen why I have so much bitter towards you whites,and I am working hard to correct them negative feelings.But I will NEVER let my guards down,and that's how I am,and I believe strongly to get respect one must give respect.

MC Hammer?

Back to soul food... is anyone (city) working to bring new business, specifically sit-down family eating places to Highland Park?

No answer on why so few Black-owned businesses in Highland Park... maybe they haven't been asked to relocate or encouraged to get started?

Mr. Hillard... truly saddened for your loss.

It will be very difficult to get any established sit down restaurants in HP. The city really needs to do something about the number of vagrants in the area. While I do sympathize with a person being down on his luck, I dont think HP should be the homeless capital of the city.
