Daily Detroit

What we thought was going to be a quick look at a new entrance renovation turned into a night to remember.

Randy, Shi, and Jer share their thoughts on a cornucopia of food at Hazel's in downtown Birmingham.

Yes, they're known for seafood and we try a bunch of that - but their menu doesn't stop there.

After all, Chef Emmele Harold is one of the most talented culinary minds in Michigan.

It's Devon O'Reilly's favorite holday, so of course we talk all things Irish. What makes a good Irish bar.

Why maybe there are few of them, and some good ones to check out around Metro Detroit.

Plus, we talk about some openings around town and places to check out we've been to.

01:50 Today in the news, word comes that Slow's BBQ has a new investor - Mighty Quinn's Barbecue out of New York, and the Cooley family has sold their share.

It's an interesting move as they'll get the capital to expand with a new food truck, additional scale, and lcoations; but also, it leads us to talk about BBQ and ribs in general. Where are the best ribs in town? What's a surprise pick? And of course, you can't forget BBQ from your own backyard. Send in your rib tips - tips on places, tips on making ribs, all of it - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com.

11:43 Detroit Lions fans are mourning the loss of Jamaal Williams, and Jer and Fletcher talk about the head and heart mix with one of our favorite players (and a former guest of this show!)

Finally we finish out the show with a little Detroit City FC talk after their loss to San Diego Loyal SC. House is not on fire, but we need some offense before we come back to Keyworth.

This show is a little longer than our usual fare, because we were doing a crossover so we hit the middle between their format and window and ours.

One of our favorite things to do is check in on Metro Detroit's and Detroit's progress and areas of concern when it comes to greenways, biking infrastructure, walkability, freeway pedestrian overpasses and more.

To do that, Todd Scott from the Detroit Greenways Coalition joins me for a 2023 update.

313 Day is coming! It's so official there's a proclamation by the city council president, celebrating March 13th and Detroit.

We talk about some of our favorite things around town, near and far.

Jer went out to Mia's bakery in Madison Heights. Devon tried fancy coffee mocktails at Dessert Oasis in downtown Detroit. A vampyre, anyone?

313 Day has a series of events around town, I share some discounts and deals from Buddy's, Eastern Market Brewing, and more... plus Red Hook is opening in Midtown on Monday.

Also, a little nostalgia when we found an episode of the show from three years ago this week with a food and restaurant roundup. https://open.spotify.com/episode/08EovHpxKxC7a5Jl0rL7fs?si=0c7052a4e27c40d5
