There are all kinds of "best of" lists. Some of better quality than others.
Some are just popularity contests, which end up getting won by which restaurant or shop owner has the most friends or connected social media.
Others have a pay to play component, that's only very quietly disclosed.
This list is different. These are our favorite picks of the best of the best in Metro Dertroit. It means we've visited the spot, tried the spot, and liked the spot. Always with our own money.
There are only two ways an establishment can be nominated and selected as a Driveworthy Destination.
1) One of our regular team members that we then approve
2) Our supporting members on Patreon can suggest their favorite places for us to review (but this is not a guarantee of placement).
Beyond the listing here on our website, mention on the podcast (and a possible YouTube review video) — winners get a certificate, a window cling, and some stickers.
