Grand Rapids and Beyond

Dave, Will, and Joey are hosts of the GR Eats Podcast. Each episode they chose a Restaurant in Grand Rapids or around West Michigan, eat there, and talk about their experience.I reached out to them to come on the show to talk about the Restaurant scene. Instead they invited me out to eat with them and we ended up checking out The Commons which is a very vintage feeling restaurant in Grand Rapids. As soon as we finished eating we went back and recorded this joint episode in their style. This is our experience.
