Metro Detroit: Plymouth’s Sardine Room
In 2012 the Yaquinto family opened The Sardine Room. They were not new to the restaurant industry. They started in Dearborn, with Paisano’s Pizza over 40 years ago. In the early 2000’s they opened Campari’s On The Park, a very popular downtown Plymouth dining location. Around 2009 they opened Fiamma Grill (which is currently being renovated) right next to Compari’s. Finally, in 2012, The Sardine Room was born. If you live in the surrounding communities, you are likely familiar with at least one of these 3 locations
Metro Detroit: Redford’s Michno’s Cafe
We’ve heard from a ton of people that this place had the best Friday fish fry. Since it used to be Harold’s Bar, where our parents hung out when we were kids, living in Redford . . . we were a little skeptical. Turns out, they were right! AND this is not your parents dive bar any more.
Metro Detroit: Milford’s Charlie’s Still on Main
We’re back! Your favorite real estate and mortgage people with this week Fun Food Friday. This week, we are stepping a little out of our norm, featuring a restaurant that is not Downtown or near where we live. This week we head to Milford to check out Charlie’s Still On Main.
Detroit: Midtown’s Oak & Reel
This week we are featuring a newer restaurant we have been wanting to try since it opened in Fall of 2020, during the height of the Covid craziness: Oak & Reel, Hour Magazine’s 2022 restaurant of the year.
Recipe: Fish & Chips
I have received a lot of suggestions to do a “Fun Food Friday “ fish-n-chips edition. I did do this in the past, featuring a different place each week for a good Friday fish fry. Most restaurants offer their fish-n-chips on Fridays - most in an “all you can eat” special. However…how about making your own at home?
Detroit: Restaurant Spotlight - Leila
We were in the mood for Middle Eastern food, so we tried a new place downtown Detroit. Leila is an upscale Middle Eastern / Lebanese restaurant located 1245 Griswold between State St and Grand River near Capital Park. We had seen and heard many good things about Leila, which opened in October of 2019. It was voted restaurant of the year by the Free Press in 2020.
Recipe: Cioppino (Seafood Stew)
Teresa and I always try to have a seafood dish at least once a week. It could be a good grilled Salmon or Tilapia, a Grouper sandwich (yes Costco recently had some Grouper in stock) shrimp or maybe some crab cakes. this week we decided to make a Cioppino. For those of you who are not familiar with Cioppino it is basically a seafood stew made with a spicy tomato-based broth.
