SUCH A GOOD TIME TO HANG OUT WITH US. DEFINITELY STOP ON BY JASON. HEY BACK OUT HERE RIGHT
BESIDE HUNTINGTON’S PLACE. WHERE
INSIDE. THEY HAVE ALL THE CARS
ON DISPLAY, AND THEY’RE WAITING
ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT.
BESIDES THE FAMILY FUND AND THE
VEHICLES AND ALL OF THE
EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON
COMPONENT OF THIS ENTIRE EVENT
IS THE FOOD AND OF COURSE, WE’RE
GOING TO TURN TO MICHELLE
OLIVER, OUR RESIDENT FOODIE.
WHO’S GOING TO CLUE US IN ON
WHAT’S GOING ON FOOD WISE,
MICHELLE YES. SO I’VE BEEN
SCOPING IT OUT THERE STILL IN
THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP THE
TRUCKS, BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF
FOOD TRUCKS THAT ARE COMING IN
FROM ALL ACROSS METRO DETROIT.
YOU HAVE SOME FAVORITES LIKE
ANDY AMMO. ACTUALLY WE HAVE A
FULL LIST. WE’RE GOING TO POST
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. AND SO THAT
INCLUDES THINGS LIKE CARNIVAL
FOOD. YOU HAVE ELEPHANT EARS.
ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES.
ROASTED CINNAMON NUTS. WE HAVE A
CHICKEN TRUCK RIGHT HERE. I SAW
A MAD TEA HOUSE. THEY HAVE
THINGS LIKE BUBBLE TEA. YOU HAVE
OTHER THINGS LIKE MILKSHAKES.
BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU COULD
WANT WILL BE HERE IN THIS FOOD
TRUCK AREA. BUT IF YOU’RE MORE
IN THE MOOD FOR A SIT DOWN
EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE SOME PLACES
FOR THAT, TOO. I DINE IN THE
DEAL ALL THE TIME. AND SO HERE
ARE A FEW OF MY PICKS. FROM
DETROIT STYLE PIZZA TO
MOUTHWATERING SEAFOOD. THERE ARE
SOME GREAT OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES
TO DINING IN DETROIT, AND HERE
ARE FIVE OF MY PICKS. FIRST
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN
RIGHT BACK CAMPUS. MARTIUS IS
THE ATHLETE NAMED CENTRAL
KITCHEN AND BAR. THEY HAVE
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT THIS
CHIC RESTAURANT, INCLUDING ITEMS
LIKE THIS JUICY BURGER AND THIS
SAVORY ASIAN SALMON. ONE OF MY
PERSONAL FAVORITES ARE THESE
MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED WINGS.
MHM NEXT. I WANT TO INTRODUCE
YOU TO SLOPPY CRAP, WHICH IS
LOCATED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET
FROM THE RENAISSANCE CENTER,
WITH THEIR SIGNATURE DISH BEING
SEAFOOD SLATHERED IN A
DELICIOUSLY BUTTERY SAUCE IS NO
WONDER HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME.
IF YOU WANT TO DIVE FURTHER INTO
THE MENU, THEY ALSO HAD BANG
BANG SHRIMP CRAB CAKE BURGER,
WHICH IS MADE WITH FRESH JUMBO
LUMP CRAB. AND SOME CLASSIC FISH
AND CHIPS. MOVING ON. LET’S HEAD
ON OVER TO GRANDMA BOBS IN CORK
TOWN FOR SOME DETROIT STYLE
PIZZA HERE. THEY REALLY LIKE TO
MIX THINGS UP. HAVE YOU EVER HAD
A BIG NET PIZZA BEFORE THIS
MUSHROOM PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE
, SPINACH, ROASTED GARLIC, LEMON
AND BASIL WAS A SURPRISE WIN FOR
ME. THEY ALSO HAVE MORE
TRADITIONAL PIZZAS LIKE THIS
SUPREME AS WELL AS VEGAN OPTIONS
, SALADS AND BOOZY MILKSHAKES.
STAYING IN CORK TOWN. YOU SHOULD
ALSO CHECK OUT SUPER GUILE OWNED
BY TWO JAMES DISTILLERY. SO YOU
KNOW THE DRINKS ARE GOOD. THIS
SUPER COOL RESTAURANT HAS AN
ECLECTIC MENU RANGING FROM A
MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED FISH DISH
TO THESE GEORGIAN DUMPLINGS.
DISH THAT STARTED IT ALL,
THOUGH, IS THIS DONER KEBAB
TURKISH SANDWICH MADE WITH
SHAVED MEAT ON AN AIRY BUN?
FINALLY IF YOU’RE HEADED TO THE
D YOU NEED TO STOP BY SOUTHWEST
DETROIT FOR SOME OF THE BEST
MEXICAN FOOD AROUND. ARMANDO IS
A CLASSIC SPOT THAT’S BEEN
SERVING DETROIT SINCE 1967 AND
IS A FAVORITE OF THE DETROIT
TIGERS. THIS IS THE PLACE THAT
CREATED THE POPULAR NACHO
APPETIZER. THE BOAT, TANA,
WHETHER YOU’RE CRAVING SOME
ENCHILADAS, OR YOU WANT TO TRY
THEIR SIGNATURE MEXICAN
SANDWICH. YOU WON’T BE LEAVING
HUNGRY. SO DRIVE ON DOWN TO
DETROIT AND BE SURE TO BRING
YOUR APPETITE. NOW THAT’S REALLY
JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE.
THERE’S SO MANY GOOD RESTAURANTS
IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT, BOTH
DOWNTOWN AND IN THE SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOODS. A GOOD THING TO
MAKE SURE THOSE SINCE THE AUTO
SHOW IS OVER THE WEEKEND ON
SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS AS WELL, IS
TO DOUBLE CHECK THE TIMES THESE
RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN. PERHAPS
GIVE THEM A CALL. I KNOW I’VE
RUN INTO THE FACT WHERE YOU
GOOGLE SEARCH IT, AND IT SAYS
IT’S OPEN, BUT IT’S NOT REALLY
CODED IS KIND OF MESSED UP A LOT
OF PEOPLE’S SCHEDULES. SO JUST
DOUBLE CHECK IT BEFORE YOU MAKE
YOUR PLANS TO HEAD OUT, BUT SO
MANY GREAT OPTIONS TO CHOOSE
FROM. YOU WON’T HAVE A HARD TIME
PICKING TATI. THANK YOU,
