The Cass Corridor, aka Midtown, has a new hamburger joint.
Royale With Cheese at 4163 Cass Ave. started with a soft opening on Tuesday, reports Brenna Houck of Eater Detroit. It sells halal hamburgers and more.
The owners are fans of the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction, and that's where the name comes from. In one scene, John Travolta explains to Samuel L. Jackson that folks in Paris call the quarter-pounder "Royale with Cheese."
Houck writes:
Diners can expect a creative menu that blends American and Mediterranean flavors. The restaurant’s namesake Royale burger is topped with smoked brisket, southwest corn relish, caramelized onions, avocado, smoked gouda, creamy coleslaw, and “Royale sauce” (a creamy, fondue-like cheese).
There’s also a vegetarian falafel burger with tomatoes, romaine lettuce, Lebanese pickles, avocado, and lemon-tahini aioli. For a purely id-driven craving check out the deep-fried Doritos ravioli filled with jalapeno nacho cheese with roasted tomato sauce.
Most importantly, the shakes feature house-made custard in flavors like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Oreo-Nutella, and Hershey pie.
