Shake Shack to Detroit

[downtownguy]

And Ann Arbor people wonder why people think of them as snobby.

Zingerman's isn't some Ann Arbor secret. I'm sure Detroit, with plenty of Michigan fans and alums, would welcome a Zingerman's outpost in Detroit. They already know the cost and what they get out of it.

We don't need Zingerman's. We've got Mudgie's.

We don't need Zingerman's. We've got Mudgie's.

While there is certainly a saturation point, I think until you reach that [[and Detroit is far from it), more great options only benefit the current good options: more foot traffic, more reason to eat out more frequently, more cross-pollination of customers, ideas & staff.

As it is, I enjoy Mudgie's and would still be a semi-regular* even if Zingerman's came to town. Besides, I'd bet a Zingerman's would go downtown proper or midtown.

*I neither live nor work in Corktown, although I have scoped out locations for a possible new bar in the area. Details to follow, if it comes together [[late this year, if an agreement on the space can be made; devil in the details).
