Now I'm feeling stupid. This is the third restaurant I've posted about this week! Anyway, this time it will be in Chrysler House, and it's name is Dime Store.


After meeting and working together at a restaurant in Ann Arbor, a trio of self-described foodies are coming together to open their own bar and eatery. Called Dime Store, the 75-seat restaurant is set to open by July in the first level of Chrysler House, a 23-story office tower located at Fort and Griswold in downtown Detroit.
“It will be an American brunch bar, which is a new concept for the central business district,” says Ann-Marie Murphy, co-owner of Dime Store with her fiancé, Larry Kahn, and investor Jeffrey Alexander. “We’ll be open for breakfast, lunch, and we’ll close at 8 p.m. We want to raise the bar for restaurants in downtown Detroit.”
Located on the Griswold side of Chrysler House, the restaurant will feature an open bar and an open kitchen, with seating for 13 people. The remaining seats will be set in the restaurant and a portion of the atrium lobby. The principals hired Chef Joshua Taylor, formerly with the Moto Restaurant and the Park Grill, both in Chicago. He was trained at the French Culinary Institute.
The menu, still under development, will include such dishes as duck bop hash, a take on a traditional Korean dish, as well as a Korean barbeque sandwich featuring marinated beef, pickles, and vegetables, and a veggie burger made with back beans, wheat berry, and other ingredients.
