BIG GRAND FINAL AS THEY’RE CALLING IT. THAT’S MONDAY. WHEN YOU JOIN US AT 10 AM HAVE YOU
EVER TRIED A DISH ON VACATION?
IT WAS SO GOOD THAT YOU WANTED
TO EAT IT BACK HOME. WELL,
THAT’S HOW THE IDEA FOR THIS
NEXT PLACE GOT STARTED WITH ME
AND SEAFOOD SOUP FROM MEXICO.
THIS PLACE OPENED UP ABOUT A
YEAR AGO AS A MASSIVE PATIO,
EUROPEAN FLAIR AND DRINKS FROM
TWO JAMES DISTILLERY. OLIVER
TAKES US TO CORK TOWN TO DINE IN
THE D AT SUPER GEM. ELECTRIC
MENU RANGING FROM A
MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED FISH DISH
TO THESE GEORGIAN DUMPLINGS,
PLUS A SOPHISTICATED COCKTAIL
PROGRAM TO MATCH SUPER GUILE HAS
ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A FUN
NIGHT OUT. SUPER GUILE IS A TERM
IN GERMANY THAT THEY USE
SOMETHING THAT MEANS SUPER COOL,
SUPER TRENDY. THE IDEA FOR THIS
CHIC RESTAURANT CAME FROM THE
OWNER OF TWO JAMES DISTILLERY
AND CHEF BRENDAN MCCALL WHILE
THEY WERE ON A TRIP TO BERLIN
WERE STAYING IN THE KREUZBERG
AREA. AND THIS IS WHERE THE BIG
TURKISH POPULATION IS, AND WE’RE
FINDING A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO
IT JUST TO WHAT COURT COUNTY
FELT LIKE. EVERYONE’S LIKE,
WELL, YOU GOTTA GO OUT AND HAVE
DINNER KEBAB. AND WE’RE LIKE,
OKAY, WE’LL GO HAVE DINNER AND
WE JUST WERE, LIKE, HOOKED AND
ADDICTED AND JUST GOING ALL THE
TIME, SO THEY KIND OF THOUGHT,
WHY DON’T WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS? AND IN DETROIT ALREADY
OWNED THIS BUILDING, SO THEY SET
ABOUT TRANSFORMING IT INTO SUPER
GUILE. SO WE WANTED IT TO BE
VERY OPEN AIR A LOT OF NATURAL
COLORS, NOT A, YOU KNOW, DIMLY
LIT COCKTAIL BAR. WE WANTED TO
BE MORE BRIGHTLY LIT LOTS OF
BROWNS LOTS OF COLORS FROM ALL
THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF BERLIN
AND THIS DONOR SANDWICH GAVE
THEM THE STARTING POINT FOR
THEIR MENU. THAT’S SORT OF OUR
MAIN ITEM, THEN LET’S BUILD
FLAVORS AROUND AND FLAVORS THAT
SORT OF EXPAND FROM THAT
COMMUNITY. WELL, THIS IS A
BEAUTIFUL SPREAD, SO LET’S GET
INTO THE MENU AND WE’RE GOING TO
START WITH ONE OF THEIR
APPETIZERS. THIS IS THE
LIEUTENANT’S A AND THIS IS A
BULGARIAN AND KIND OF A TURKISH
STYLE DISH. THE SAUCE IS MADE
WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPERS
, ALONG WITH SOME TOMATOES AND
ONIONS, GIVING IT KIND OF A
SALSA E VIBE, AND IT COMES WITH
SOME HOUSE MADE PITA BREAD ON
THE SIDE. ANOTHER GREAT STARTER
ARE THESE GEORGIAN SOUP
DUMPLINGS WITH A SPICED BEEF ON
THE INSIDE, AND THEY HAVE THIS
VEAL STOCK DEMI GLAZE ON THE
INSIDE, MAKING IT NICE AND RICH
AND JUICY. SERVED OVER SOUR
CREAM. IT’S A LITTLE BIT OF DILL
AND PICKLES OVERTOP. ANOTHER
POPULAR APPETIZER IS THEIR FIRST
CHICKEN CHICKEN. NOW CHICKEN IS
ACTUALLY YIDDISH FOR DRUNKEN AND
THAT’S THE PERFECT NAME FOR THIS
BECAUSE THE CHICKENS ARE
MARINATED. IN WHITE WINE AND TO
JAMES WHISKEY, THEY’RE TOPPED
WITH PIRI PIRI SAUCE, PICKLED
ONIONS AND GREEN BEANS. IF
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
THAT LIGHT AND REFRESHING CHECK
OUT THIS BEET AND CARROT SALAD
NOW THIS IS VERY POPULAR OVER IN
BULGARIA, IT HAS SHREDDED BEETS
AND CARROTS AND HONEY CRISP
APPLES IN IT. ANOTHER GREAT
SALAD IS THIS ICEBERG SALAD.
IT’S KIND OF THEIR OWN TAKE ON
THE WEDGE. SO YOU HAVE ICEBERG
LETTUCE, CREAMY BULGARIAN FETA
DRESSING. YOU ALSO HAVE RADISHES
, RED ONIONS, TOMATOES, AND IT’S
TOPPED WITH CANDIED WALNUTS. NOW
FOR THE DISH THAT STARTED IT ALL
THEIR DONOR, SO THIS IS A
TURKISH STYLE SANDWICH MEAT IN
THERE IS BEEF AND LAMB, AND IT’S
MARINATED IN AN HERB YOGURT.
THERE’S TONS OF VEGGIES, GARLIC
MAYO AND THEIR HOUSE MADE HOT
SAUCE. NOW THEY HAVE A SELECTION
OF DISHES THAT ARE MEANT TO BE
SHARED. AND THIS IS THEIR BRAIN.
LANZINI VERY RICH, BUTTERY FISH.
THEY’RE PAIRING THIS ONE WITHIN
OR BASIS. SOUR ORANGE WALNUT
STUFFING TO REALLY BRIGHTEN IT
UP, AND ALL OF THEIR SHARED
PLATES COME WITH A VARIETY OF
SIDES AND SALADS FROM THE MENU.
KIND OF JUST GIVE YOU A TASTE OF
EVERYTHING. AND FINALLY, FOR
DESSERT, THEY HAVE A CLASSIC THE
BUMPY CAKE. HAPPY CAKE WAS GOOD
, BUMPY CAKE. LET’S DO SOME
HOUSECLEANING. I INTRODUCED THE
PLACES SUPER JIM. I DON’T KNOW
WHERE I GOT THAT SUPER GUILE
STORY BEHIND THE NAME. YES SO IT
MEANS SUPER COOL, SUPER CHIC,
SUPER TRENDY, KIND OF LIKE HOT
SEX LIKE YOU. YEAH KIM WHEAT.
COME ON THE SHOW ANYTIME.
ALRIGHT THIS RIGHT HERE IN THE
BUDGET, SO THAT IS THE STEAK AND
FREEZE. SO OBVIOUSLY, POTATOES
ARE NOT POTATOES. THE FRUITS ARE
THE FRENCH FRIES. AND THEN, OF
COURSE, SOME DELICIOUS STEAK. WE
ALSO HAVE ONE OF THEIR TINS. NOW
I’M GOING TO READ THIS OFF HERE.
SO IF YOU LIKE FANCY IMPORTED
TENS OF LIKE SARDINES OR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THIS THIS
PLACE HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT
VERSIONS. THIS ONE IS MUSSELS IN
ESCABECHE. LOOK AT SAY THAT
AGAIN. THINK THAT’S HOW YOU SAY
TISSOT ESCABECHE? I DON’T KNOW.
I’M HOPING I’M NOT BUTCHERING
THAT CHUCK. A LOT OF MIRANDA
OVER THERE. NICE AND THEN WE
ALSO BROUGHT IN THEIR DONOR. NOW
THEY ACTUALLY MAKE SURE TO HAVE
QUITE A FEW VEGAN OPTIONS ON
THEIR MENU. JUST BECAUSE I
ACTUALLY THE CHEF USED TO BE
VEGAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO
THIS IS A VEGAN VERSION OF THEIR
DONORS SANDWICH WITH, UH,
EGGPLANT ON IT INSTEAD OF THE
LLAMA BEEF, AND I WILL SAY THE
LAMB OR BEEF WAS SO GOOD. THIS
IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
RESTAURANTS AND I LOVE EVERY
TIME I’M ON THE SHOW, I FEEL
LIKE YOU FEATURE A CORK TOWN
RESTAURANT. IT’S LIKE LIKE KIM’S
HERE, LET ME SHOW HER HER
NEIGHBORHOOD. OKAY SO LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE PATIO BECAUSE I KNOW
THEY OPENED LAST YEAR AND THEY
WERE KIND OF GETTING THE PATIO
READY. IS IT READY NOW? SO YES,
IT IS READY. THEY’RE GOING TO
HAVE IT OPEN AND THEY HAVE A LOT
OF BIG PLANS FOR THIS. SO
THERE’S THIS SHIPPING CONTAINER
BAR THAT THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE,
WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE
FRESH RAW OYSTERS FROM THEY’RE
THEY’RE ALSO DOING A BIG SHERRY
PROGRAM. UM OUT THERE, THEY’RE
GOING TO HAVE MOVIES HAVE EVENTS
LIKE BARBECUES AND EVEN A
PROJECTOR TO PLAY MOVIES ON OVER
THE SUMMER. FUN LIKE A HAPPENING
PLACE, AND I GOTTA SAY, IS IT
GOOD? AND YOU KNOW, IT’S GOOD
WHEN JASON IS APPROVING TREMOR
IN YOUR VOICE, AND I WILL SAY I
KNOW LIKE THE COCKTAILS. THEIR
THEIR HANDS DOWN LIKE I MEAN,
IT’S TO JAMES COCKTAILS, RIGHT?
YES TO JAMES COCKTAILS, SO THEY
ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE AS
TO JAMES AND THAT BUILDING
ACTUALLY USED TO BE USED FOR
STORAGE FOR TWO JAMES STUFF FOR
THEIR DISTILLING SO THE WAY THEY
SELL STUFF IS BASED OFF OF THE
FACT THAT THEY ARE A DISTILLERY,
SO ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS ARE TO
JAMES OR THEY MAKE THEM IN
HOUSE. OR THEY IMPORT THEM ONE
OF THOSE THREE THINGS, SO IT’S
ALL LIKE HOUSEMAID LIKE IT’S
AWESOME STEAK. UM SO REMIND
EVERYONE WHERE THEY’RE LOCATED
AGAIN. SO IT’S LOCATED IN COURT
TOWN AT 244 TO MICHIGAN AVENUE,
RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM TWO
