center part of the construction includes a three story glass walled atrium overlooking the detroit river which will make its debut temporarily during the 2013 north american international auto show when it opens to the public next saturday january 19 just a tad less buzzworthy but something the detroit regional convention facility authority is also very excited about is their new concession stand go natural located on the main concourse opening just in time for the auto show go natural is the first step in a whole new direction for centerplate the cobo center s food service vendor this grab and go cafe features a variety of prepared foods soups salads and sandwiches all made with fresh natural locally sourced ingredients organic produce locally raised free range chickens from scratch soups and more are on the menu at go natural which is all part of a larger initiative by centerplate to not just catch up to the marketplace but leapfrog it offering the kind of food not normally found in convention centers options at go natural include breakfast and lunch items and are definitely hearty yet healthy in addition to the atrium which will host private parties and vip dinners the new construction in cobo will include a grand ballroom additional meeting rooms a brand new food court and a new 8 000 square foot kitchen with private tasting room catering will be entirely overseen by centerplate s acf executive chef jamie miller whose biggest passion and primary objective is to use fresh locally sourced ingredients in his cooking i had the chance to preview go natural as well as the auto show in mid construction this past thursday check out the photos in the slideshow below for the record i had the buffalo chicken sandwich and tomato soup the sandwich was made with huge chunks of high quality chicken and more huge chunks of bleu cheese on ciabatta bread the soup was loaded with fresh vegetables and the ladies at the counter were lovely as far as

s treat dreams expanding into former pak mail space next door photo from the metro times scott moloney the completely insane man who opened an ice cream shop in michigan in the middle of the great recession is now expanding his successful artisan bakery and micro creamery treat dreams in ferndale known for fan favorite flavors like salted caramel as well as funky and i mean funky flavors like macaroni cheese and lemon olive oil since opening in 2010 treat dreams has been a staple at every single local festival and major event where food is any sort of a significant component not to mention countless food truck rallies scott s ice creams now topping over 500 unique flavors since opening in august 2010 have developed a cultish following and have earned treat dreams the distinction of being one of michigan s top 10 ice cream parlors today scott officially announced that he will be expanding treat dreams into the space formerly and currently still occupied by pak mail this will allow him to double the size of his kitchen and almost triple the size of the dining room allowing treat dreams to function as more of a dessert cafe scott tells me that this will entail a total makeover of my current and new space officially construction will start on february 18 and scott hopes to have it completed by march 15 he has also launched an indiegogo campaign in the hopes of raising about one third of the cost of expansion via crowd funding for the full story of treat dreams click on the indiegogo link it s a good one plus scott has some good incentives for contributing like a six month subscription for 35 and design your own ice cream flavor with four pints to take home for 50 after reopening he ll also be launching treat dreams after dark an ice cream camp for
