about the 300 million renovation project currently underway at cobo 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 convention center fast food goes this place seems pretty top notch go natural at cobo center slideshow creator posted by nicole email this blogthis

friendly thursday january 10 2013 news bites ferndale 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 adults all of this in addition to a gnarly new truck for events and mobile service not too shabby for a guy who had only ever made two batches of ice cream in his life prior to opening an ice cream shop scott moloney living the dream posted by nicole email this blogthis share to twitter share to facebook labels ferndale food trucks ice cream treat dreams wednesday january 9 2013 hot list detroit books here at eid you get plenty of food fodder for your taste hole here are some things that you eat with your brain a lot of books have been written about detroit recently it s kind of a hot topic now if you haven t noticed the following selection of very recent releases are about as wildly divergent as any collection of random things orbiting the same general subject in this case detroit can possibly be it s kind of like how every pizza is different even though it s all pizza some even have something to do with food 1 detroit an american autopsy by charlie leduff reporter bill shea of crain s detroit had this to say of charlie leduff s novel detroit an american autopsy if i hadn t met pulitzer winning reporter charlie leduff it would be easy to dismiss some of detroit an american autopsy as bukowskian exaggeration or outright fantasy but i do know leduff i know detroit and i know the people and incidents that populate his new book he s blunt and honest in detroit which is a memoir of a native son come home to a place that was falling apart but also a civic history a war story a lament and a multi count indictment of the political economic and social systems that allowed detroit to fail its people and itself leduff s part memoir part journalistic exploration part rant promises to be just as colorfully if not quite so eloquently worded the story and its author lend themselves well to the obvious if easy hunter s thompson comparisons but as an hst fan myself i certainly see nothing wrong with that this is leduff s fear and loathing on the campaign trail for detroit circa 2008 10 release date february 7 2013 2 the american way of eating undercover at walmart applebee s farm fields and the dinner table by tracie mcmillan author tracie mcmillan is a michigan native and a multi award winning investigative journalist her book the american way of eating is a new york times bestseller and is a culminating work delving into her particular areas of expertise food and class in america in researching this book mcmillan worked in minimum wage food industry jobs picking grapes in california stocking produce at a walmart in the detroit suburbs waiting tables at an applebee s awe more than just echoes barbara ehrenreich s seminal nickle and dimed but focuses more on the greater issue of food justice rather than the matter of minimum wage hardly being a living wage if the sociopolitical underpinnings don t quite tickle your fancy just knowing that it rankled rush limbaugh should be enough 3 detroit city is the place to be the afterlife of the american metropolis by mark binelli there has seemed to be an almost frenzied desperation on the part of national media to define detroit over the last several years sometimes almost gleeful to see the city eat itself more often fascinated to the point of preciousness with the more recent narrative of phoenix like rebirth and almost always an unabashed form of gawking detroit city is the place to be is none of those things it is a very simple humble snapshot of the city and its people no bombast no bells and whistles just snapshots of stories capturing everyday life in detroit no praise for the new brand of youth saviors descending on the city in droves and getting featured in the new york times no indictments of the billionaires and politicians who had the largest hands in destroying it this is a book about everyone else normal people leading normal lives in a city that is anything but with no attempt to answer questions or offer insight on issues far too big and far too complicated for any one person to take on 313 life in the motor city by john carlisle speaking of slice of life no list of local authors would be complete without
