Speaking of pizza, I was at Buddy’s the other day and I’m happy to report they are back. There was a time in 2021 where they were really struggling. Their restaurants that used to have an hour wait at all times were completely empty, the menu had been cut down to just pizza and salad, and staff was minimal. It seemed that just as “Detroit Style” was finding a niche all across the county, the original was going to go out of business. Everything is normal again and glad to see they were back going strong. Don’t sleep on their chicken tenders. They’re not just for 6 year olds.
As for almond boneless chicken, I think maybe it’s just a Michigan thing, and possibly even just metro Detroit. It’s still there at the many excellent Chinese restaurants in the Farmington/Farmington Hills area that I like to frequent.
