Staying up late for Windsor's Midnight Special

I'll do just about anything to experiencegood food. Time and distance isn't an issue. Crossing a border is a piece of cake.

My latest discovery, however, was a little more difficult.

I had to stay up late.Really late.

I realize thatthat doesn't sound too hard but when you wake up at 4 a.m.forWindsor Morning,it can be tough to stay up past 10 p.m.

After an early evening nap, I headed out to one of downtown Windsor's newest restaurants: Midnight Special. It's a late-night tacostand that operates out of Terra Cotta pizzeria every Friday and Saturday.

Think of it like a permanent pop-up.When Terra Cotta shuts down for the night, Midnight Special takes over.
