The Wrap

Some of the best dinners hide in plain sight, and a reader's email just sent a Journal contributor to Tike's Treats and Eats on Youree Drive. The menu features Detroit-style and regular pizza, plus Po' Boy Pockets and sandwiches. The review says more people definitely need to be talking about this place, so consider this us talking. Po' Boy Pockets sound like a fine start.
