Today's show is a special one as we had the chance to catch up with Carla Hall of Top Chef, Food Network and The Chew fame.

She was doing a great thing at the Durfee school on Detroit's near west side honoring lunchroom heroes and making biscuits. Hootie Hoo!

Plus Devon and Jer talk about four stories around town.

• It's grand opening and grand closing for Flaming Embers at what seems to be a cursed corner for bars at Woodward and Grand Circus Park. Turns out Jer and Engineer Randy went the last night and didn't know it. We discuss maybe some changes and improvements that could be made there and to the park to help draw fans around the area.
• We're getting closer to what we predicted, which was an Apple Store for downtown Detroit
• The old Chung's building has been sold
• It's gonna be on us to create interesting things to make sure Detroit and Metro Detroit don't lose population

Fletcher Sharpe is in to talk all things Detroit sports.

00:42 Monty Williams is on the coaching board after being fired by Mat Ishbia. Could he land in Detroit? Would it be good?

07:18 Fletcher headed down to Ford Field to see the Panthers

11:29 International match between Crystal Palace FC and Sevilla coming to Comerica Park

16:35 Detroit City FC's women side and strong attendance numbers

18:43 The men's Detroit City FC side got embarassed by Tampa Bay last weekend 5-1, and powerful San Antonio is up next. What can be done? We may need to wait to let DCFC build up a bit as the transition to the USL Championship may be harder than some first thought.
