Detroit's Boogaloo sandwich, which dates back to the 1960s, can be found today at Chef Greg's Soul-in-the-Wall. The carryout-only restaurant is just what it sounds like: a small operation serving smothered pork chops, wings, burgers, triple-butter-crust peach cobbler and more, including four versions of the Boogaloo made by chef Gregory Beard.
The classic Boogaloo sandwich is seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, melted cheese and the "famous" Boogaloo sauce, all on a toasted 8-inch bun. Chef Greg calls his the Boogaloo Wonderland and makes it with your choice of ground beef, grilled chicken, steak or vegetables, all with the flavorful barbecue sauce.
