This week we are going upscale dining with a laid back atmosphere. I’m talking about Wright & Co. This was not my first experience with Wright & Co but it was Teresa and Dylan’s. Since my first time there they have made a lot of changes, one in particular was the reason to go back for a new experience. His name is Chef Kyle Schutte.

This week we are going with something simple, yet almost everyone seems to love...submarine sandwiches AKA subs, heros, grinders or hoagies. We are not talking about any sub, but more specifically the “oven baked” variety. Teresa and I love a good hot oven baked sub . . . not a hot sub cooked and thrown into a cold bun, but one that is actually baked in the oven on a good Italian or French roll or maybe a nice ciabatta bun.

This week we are visiting one of our favorite Midtown bars which on top of being a great bar, with a great atmosphere, also has great food…Honest John’s. Honest John’s, in Detroit, is a midtown neighborhood staple since 2002 when John Thompson moved the bar from its original location near Belle Isle on Detroit’s East side where he opened in the early 90s.

This week is not just about 1 restaurant, it is about the weekend experience that is Eastern Market. This Sunday is the official Flower Day - the Sunday after Mother’s Day. However, it is not the only flower day at the market this year. They are having them every Sunday in May, to help keep the crowds down. Flower Day runs from 7AM – 5PM in all sheds of the market.

It’s me…your favorite Realtor and lover of all food (well almost all food) here with this weeks Fun Food Friday. With yesterday being Cinco de Mayo, it got me thinking about Mexican food. I know everyone has their favorite Mexican restaurant, as we do, but if you want to try something new give Condado’s in Midtown Detroit a try.

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.

Who likes a good chicken sandwich? I know we do. We are always in search of the best chicken sandwich especially a Buffalo Chicken or Nashville Hot and believe me we have tried many some great and some not so great.

While we have been staying home a lot and cooking in, we still get out occasionally to dine out. Especially when it is a special event like Grey Ghost and She Wolf’s “Battle Of The Bars 2022”.
