When I attended the University of Michigan, one of my favorite places to eat was the Fleetwood Diner in downtown Ann Arbor. This tiny diner, no more than an antique boxcar, is open 24 hours a day and draws a diverse group of people.
Many a night my friends and I enjoyed some great people watching and satisfying simple food.
Best of all was their "Hippie Hash." I don't have the exact recipe, but then again, I could watch the cook make it, and he never measured, either.
I always ordered this with 2 eggs, over easy, and a side of rye toast. Be sure and douse the whole thing with lots of Frank's Red Hot Sauce!
