"A fast-casual spinoff of the award-winning Detroit restaurant, this Ferndale outpost serves Grey Ghost’s popular burger alongside a vegetarian quinoa patty, a fried chicken sandwich, and an all-beef hot dog topped with whipped cream cheese—perhaps a nod to Seattle’s wieners. The original burger shows up here as a double-smashed classic with American cheese, a special dill sauce, and shredded lettuce with onion, made with beef from Fairway Packing Co., and diners can opt for a single patty if they prefer. Expect French fries, chicken tenders, and a good old-fashioned bag of doughnuts, plus a cute cartoony mascot—a burger with legs dressed up as a smiling ghost. The roughly 1,000-square-foot space at 22305 Woodward Avenue includes a walk-up window, they’re serving lunch and dinner, and Little Ghost will also offer local delivery; hours run 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. Four Man Ladder Hospitality, co-owned by Joe Giacomino and John Vermiglio with partners Will Lee and Michael Gray, has designs on opening more locations, with Basan executive chef Eric Lees behind the food here." - Ashok Selvam
