Hey Glenn, my point about Greektowns was that if the same item is on the menu in more than one place, it often tastes the same. There are some signature items that are unique to the restuarant, for sure, but I think all the pastisos, for example, in Detroit’s greektown taste the same. Which means they are poor replicas to the dish my friend’s Ya-ya used to make when I was a kid.

Actually, the best Greek food I ever had was in Detroit’s Greektown. Of course coming from an ex New Yorker that should mean a lot. I once went to a Greek Restaurant in Huntington Long Island with a doctor friend of mine. I told the waitress about Greektown in Detroit and she replied in astonishment "there are Greek people in Detroit??" Typical New Yorker.[;)]
