all right instead of just dipping your
fries in ketchup why not load them up
with something unique that's what one
spot in detroit is doing michelle oliver
joins us with the deets for takeout
tuesday
spuds and clocks is serving up comfort
food with a twist co-owner and former
nba player malik hairston is here with
us to tell us more about it welcome to
the show thank you and on behalf of my
partners richard harrison and tai haeger
i just want to say thank you for having
us well so first of all and yes you're
more than welcome to be here
uh how did you transition from being a
basketball player to doing food in the
restaurant industry it was pretty simple
um
i i like food more than basketball
you know
my partners are very business-minded you
know they have a lot of ideas you know
and it just really made sense for us oh
very cool so let's walk through some of
the stuff you brought in let's get into
the fries because those things are very
eye-catching so what do we have so first
we have my favorite um which is the
godfather fry we have the crispy chicken
it's essentially our alfredo fry and all
we did was switch out the carbs so no
pasta and you can get the fry of your
choice nice and then we have these ones
here
this is our philip banks fry um
which is our loaded fry think of a
loaded baked potato but instead right
here we have it on tater tots yeah and
you guys offer what other kinds of fries
do you offer besides just you know your
typical straight fries so we have your
regular fries we have the tater tot we
have sweet potato fries and we also have
waffle fries nice and you can just pick
whichever one you want absolutely and
the topping
absolutely so let's go for this one here
i see shrimp on that one so that's our
samurai fry we know how big hibachi is
here in the city and you know you can
get any protein you want you have your
hibachi vegetables and once again just
on top of the fries of choice now we so
we talked about the spuds now let's talk
about the clucks what are the chickens
you brought in so we try to be very
unique um this is our blueberry barbecue
which is our biggest seller
you know it's very very flavorful um and
you know it's just a different take you
know on a barbecue sauce i've had
blueberry and barbecue sauce before it's
delicious and it's so it's such a neat
way to sweeten it kind of a natural
sweetener absolutely and then these ones
are pretty don't you think jason yes
they look very appealing they're like
sparkly
those would be our 24k gold honey
mustard wings oh you want to eat some
gold there you go one more time yeah see
if you can get the shine and the sparkle
on that and then while we're doing that
can you walk us through that last
sandwich there absolutely so usually um
we would show our signature sandwich
which is the sweet butter clucker but we
decided to go with the chicken parm
sandwich because that's our new sandwich
just wanted to show you guys that very
nice and then what do you have for
dessert okay so we have a melee of
different milkshakes and then we also
have our granny yams fry which is our
sweet potato fry and it's served with
vanilla ice cream

cream
