Running a restaurant is incredibly hard. Matt doesn't pull any punches, and has been very honest not just about the current situation facing our local spots, but also about some of his failures, and how Bobcat Bonnie's is always working to be better. If we want our locally owned restaurants to survive, we have got to eat at them, to save them. Please go eat at Bobcat Bonnie's!We'll also have on Liza from Mudgie's Deli & Wine Bar who have been making some of the best sandwiches in the entire state for seventeen years. Hear how Mudgie's is an anchor for Corktown, and about those sandwiches too, which holy smokes, are pretty incredible and most of metro Detroit agrees. They've won all the awards, for years, for decades. For example, they've been named the 2022 Classic Restaurant of the Year by the Detroit Free Press, the 2010-2023 Best Deli in Wayne County by the Metro Times (fun fact, I was once on the cover of the Metro Times!) 2013-2021, 2023, Hour Detroit Best Sandwich Shop. Needless to say, they are legends, and we were lucky to have Liza on to join us.

Greetings, fellow snow-bound Detroiters. We didn’t let the weather interfere with our podcast plans today and delivered this show from the Royal Oak studio of Podcast Detroit. On today’s show, newly Detroit-based Chemical Bank is merging with Minnesota-based TCF Bank in an all-stock merger of equals. The deal will see TCF vacate its suburban Minneapolis headquarters and join Chemical in being based in downtown Detroit, where employee head count will eventually reach 500. The Chemical name will go away in favor of TCF, which stands for Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association. In other news, attendance at this year’s Detroit auto show saw a small dip in the show’s final wintertime appearance before it moves to June in 2020. And former Detroit Tigers legend Kirk Gibson has a new title with the team. He’ll be a special assistant to General Manager Al Avila in addition to his duties in the TV broadcast booth alternating with Jack Morris.
