HERE’S ONE OF MY GO-TO PLACES.

THEY HAVE SWITCHED UP THEIR
LOOK.
HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT ARE
THE OWNERS AND GOOD MORNING AND
WELCOME!
WHAT’S GOING ON, FELLAS?
>> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> THE BACK STORY, I WAS SADDLED
UP WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER AT THE
OTHER STATION I WORKED WITH
YEARS AGO, AND HE KNEW ABOUT IT
FROM A GLASS BLOWER AT
GREENFIELD VILLAGE ACROSS THE
STREET, AND HE SAID, YOU GOTTA
GO TO THIS SUB SHOP IN DEARBORN.
AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY!
INSTANTLY BECAME MY FAVORITE SUB
AND YOU’RE STILL SERVING UP THE
SAME QUALITY.
>> DEFINITELY.
WORD SPREADS QUICKLY WHEN YOU
PUT OUT GOOD FOOD LIKE WE DO, SO
IT’S PRETTY COOL.
>> Jason: SO WE’RE GONNA GET A
BETTER SHOT OF WHAT YOU HAVE IN
FRONT OF YOU.
IT’S SPREAD OUT.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR SPREAD THERE.
>> SO WHAT WE’VE GOT GOING HERE
IS WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN, OUR
PHILLY STEAK & CHEESE.
>> Jason: PICK THEM UP BECAUSE
WE CAN’T SEE THEM ALL OF A
SUDDEN.
>> HERE’S THE PHILLY STEAK AND
CHEESE, MADE FRESH EVERY DAY.
>> Jason: IT’S MAMMOTH.
>> EVERYTHING STAYS NICE AND
FRESH.
WE JUST BROUGHT OUT OUR NEW SUB
BOXES BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS
TAKEOUT AND DELIVERY.
SO WE INVESTED IN BETTER SUB
BOXES THAT PRODUCE A BETTER
QUALITY PRODUCT WHEN YOU CARRY
IT OUT AND KEEPS IT PERFECT AND
KEEPS IT WARMER LONGER, AS WELL.
AND [INTERFERENCE ON AUDIO LINE]
WE LAUNCHED OUR NEW ONLINE

>> Jason: WHAT STARTED AS AN
INTIMATE SHOP IN A STRIP MALL
FROM THE ’50s, I CAN TELL FROM
THE ECHO THAT YOU’RE IN A MUCH,
MUCH BIGGER SPACE.
I SEE THE MURAL, LOVE IT.
TELL US ABOUT THE CHANGES.
>> SO WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID IS WE
EXPANDED -- THERE WAS A PARTY
STORE MECHANICS DOOR TO -- STORE
NEXT DOOR, AND WE TOOK OVER
THAT.
IT’S THREE TIMES BIGGER.
OUR KITCHEN IS BIGGER, AND WE
CAN SEAT WAY MORE PEOPLE AND
ACCOMMODATE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
AND WE HAVE A DESSERT CONCEPT
CALLED FROZEN ELEPHANT, AND WE
HAVE ELEPHANT EAR, ICE CREAM,
FROZEN CUSTARD, MILKSHAKES,
THEY’RE AWESOME.
AND THE NEXT WEEKEND, WE’LL BE
OPEN TO 3 A.M. TO CELEBRATE THE
MONTH OF RAMADAN.
AND MOST OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
FAST DURING THE DAYTIME.
SO THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK,
UNTIL 3 A.M.
>> Jason: IS THE BAKERY ON THE
OTHER SIDE?
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jason: THE LIQUOR STORE THAT
YOU TOOK OVER, I USED TO GO IN
THERE WHILE RICKY WAS MAKING MY
SANDWICH AND GO OVER THERE AND
GET MY LOTTO TICKETS.
IS THERE A DEAL FOR ORDERING
ONLINE AFTER YOUR APPEARANCE
TODAY ON "LIVE IN THE D"?
>> YEAH, THERE IS.
IT WILL BE GOING FORWARD EVEN
BEYOND TODAY.
ANY FIRST ORDER ON OUR NEW
PLATFORM WILL GET 15% OFF.
WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO
