National Coney Island's Classic Detroit Burger

Place: National Coney Island Location: Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Detroit, MI Burger: Classic Detroit Burger Ingredients: American cheese, lettuce, tomato Verdict: After a 14 hour flight from Seoul, I was tired and hungry.  I had a nearly five hour layover in Detroit's surprisingly lovely international airport.  Halfway through, the stomach began to rumble and I thought this would make for another excellent road trip edition of The Burger Gourmet.

There was a large variety of burgers to be had, but when trying any new restaurant, I like to keep it simple and stick to the basics.  As such, the Cheeseburger was a great place to start.  The burger had all of the traditional toppings that make up a good burger: lettuce, tomato, onion, a
