To set the stage, Detour, who claims themselves and American Grille, was a restaurant that we landed in by accident. Rich, Cornel, Etheridge and I traveled to Carmel, Indiana to attend Rich's cousin's wedding - shout out to the family of Bruce Games (woop, woop!). We were traveling with his brother Marcus and his family - Audie, Simon and Zoe. At any rate, we were going to lunch and originally wanted to go to Bub's, which was on "Man vs. Food". I was excited to try the wings because it's supposed to be really good. When we made it there, there was an hour long wait. The kids, Audie and I were too hungry to wait. We started mosying back down the street looking for a restaurant. No one really wanted to make a decision, so I walked into Detour.
Don't you hate that...no one really wants to say "eat here" because if it's new, and a bust, you're the one at fault. Now, the wings at Detour were gross. It's highly possibly that because of the environment (Rich and I had been relatively pissy with each other since the day began), the wings really stood no chance, but we'll never know now will we?
I ordered the wings hot and they were breaded, tossed in the sauce. The sauce was incredibly hot, the blue cheese dressing very runny (tasted like ranch with some pieces of blue cheese thrown in) and the celery was odd - very thick and tough.

I would advise against the wings at Detour. What I would recommend however, are the fish tacos. Way overpriced, by YUMMY! and the $7 32 oz. draft beer in a souvenir cup definitely helped me get "unpissy" by the time we left.
