Though it’s still technically winter, it’s never too early to look ahead to springtime. And in Detroit, the pace of restaurant openings is continuing apace.

On this episode, Daily Detroit’s Man About Town, Devon O’Reilly, joins us to rap about all the latest restaurant news in town. For starters, there’s a lot of Detroit-style pizza coming, with Shield’s Pizza coming to the Maccabees Building in the Cultural Center, Buddy’s headed downtown and newcomer Michigan & Trumbull headed closer to its ancestral home of Corktown from Pittsburgh, according to Eater Detroit. Devon and I also compare tasting notes on Mootz Pizzeria, the newest addition to the Z Garage/Belt Alley, which is serving up New York-style ‘za.

We also discuss the emerging mini-district between the Shinola Hotel, its new restaurant San Morello, the Element Detroit hotel in the Metropolitan Building, the Brakeman beer hall and Queens Bar. And we head uptown to spend some time discussing what’s happening on the Livernois Avenue of Fashion district, including the forthcoming Bink’s Grill and new location for Brixwine bar.

Lastly, we discuss the noteworthy restaurant closing of Farmers Restaurant in Eastern Market.

All that and then some. Click on the player above, tell your single friend about us, and don’t forget we have a Patreon campaign that will totally help you score a date.
