It’s also about educating foodies and having fun with food. “Our guests really want to know the processes we go through,” says Michelle Miller, growth and development director at...

Gelato: It’s Better Than You Think

For the past several years, my occasional guilty pleasure has been slipping into Dolce Gelato in Clinton Township for an espresso and a scoop of gelato. So rich, creamy and full of fresh ingredients with my favorites being Limoncello, black cherry and Nutella. Pistachio. A huge favorite. Just the rows of colorful and creamy...

Daddy-Daughter Bake-Off Goes to Battle for Children & Famillies

It takes a special kind of family to work under the same roof, and it takes a really special family to pull off a Mexican-Asian fusion restaurant like Maria’s Comida. Especially when that family, the Pronkos, is neither Mexican nor Asian. Trust me, what they’re doing is great. I’m a big fan of Al’s...

Cash Mob Hits Mount Clemens

We’ve all seen flash mobs where large groups of people converge in a public spot to break out in song and dance, but what’s a cash mob? It’s an idea that originated in Cleveland back in September where people come to a local business and spend at least $20 in a designated store. Call...

Check out Bistro 555 in Greektown

$7 lobster tail. Do I have your attention? Even if you don’t like lobster, if you have the chance to try out Bistro 555 in Greetown Casino’s hotel, I would recommend it. (And you can always opt to add shrimp or crab legs to your meal if you’d rather.) I visited there last weekend with some...

Making the Paczki Pilgrimage to Hamtramck

New Orleans has Mardi Gras, Rio de Janeiro has Carnavale, but Detroiters celebrate Paczki Day the day before the first day of Lent, which is Feb. 21 this year. Pronounced “POONCH-key,” paczki are Polish-style jelly or custard-filled donuts. Ask any die-hard paczki lover, and they’ll say the only place to get the best paczki...

Give More Than Just a Box of Chocolates This Valentine’s Day

Anyone who is seriously into chocolate knows that a place that’s making things like orange cardamom and Mexican hot chocolate truffles with free trade and organic ingredients is putting more than a lot of love into those tiny bites of decadence. Counselor-turned-chocolatier Dale Anderson is also putting his convictions into them. Anderson, who has...

The raw food movement is alive in Detroit

I’ve been curious about the raw food movement for at least six years. Don’t get me wrong – I’m a serious foodie who will gravitate toward anything that resembles a delicious burger or mac n’ cheese in a flash. But the concept behind consuming high quality uncooked, unprocessed organic foods prepared in a delicious...

Due Venti: Seriously Romantic Italian Cuisine

When I think of romantic restaurants, my first criteria is that it has to be intimate – small, cozy and with low lighting. My second preference is that it does Italian. Well. I’m not talking about old school meatballs, spaghetti and red sauce Italian, but small batch house-made soups, sauces and pasta plus the...
