Owner of Kuzzo's in Detroit accused of sales tax fraud

The owner of a once-popular Detroit restaurant is accused of violating the state's tax laws, officials said Thursday, Nov. 5. Ronald Bartell was arraigned Tuesday, Nov. 3, in 54A District Court in Lansing, according to court records, about nine months after he suddenly closed Kuzzo's Chicken & Waffles, his Detroit restaurant, in February. The 44-year-old Detroit resident is charged with five counts of failing to file a tax return or filing a false return, the Michigan Attorney General's Office said. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison for each felony count. A judge set his bond at $20,000 and scheduled a probable cause conference for Nov. 12. A preliminary exam is set for Nov. 19, court records said. Bartell's attorney, Harrell Milhouse, said Thursday he and his client had no comment on the case. Prosecutors allege the defendant, who established Kuzzo’s LLC and operated Kuzzo’s Chicken and Waffles in Detroit from 2015 until 2026, violated the state sales tax law. "Michigan businesses are expected to properly collect, report, and remit the sales tax they collect to the state Department of Treasury," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement. "Sales tax revenue provides essential funding to

40 beers on tap and $3 cover charge: Remembering the Berkley Front

Craft beers, local music, and German cuisine were all part of the experience at the Berkley Front. Opened in 1994, the two-level neighborhood destination was known for its huge selection of draft beer long before the craft beer boom of the 2000s. The draft list included local suds, West Coast favorites, and imported labels. "Beer Good / Stress Bad" read the sign over the taps, setting the mood for the laid-back bar. The cuisine complemented the beer with some German fare, soups, salads, and signature items like a hot turkey sandwich and a Reuben. Customers ate at the bar or in one of the cozy booths that filled the dining room. Music was as much of a part of the Front's identity as the beer selection. On the main floor, the jukebox stocked classic albums from the Rolling Stones, the Clash and the Ramones, as well as local releases from bands like the Go and Waxwings. The second floor was home to live music. Early on it was called the smoky "Dean Martini Lounge," but by the 2000s bands would just tell their friends "we're playing the Berkley Front." The bookings were eclectic, with nights showcasing bluesmen, college rockers, folk

This Detroit liquor store doubles as an art gallery and Jamaican food spot

The east side's Liquor Basket next to the Faygo factory is a triple threat. What to expect: Shop at the strip-mall liquor store in Detroit for alcohol and snacks, while walking through a gallery's worth of art and waiting on your order of carryout Jamaican food. State of play: Among the store's shelves, Push Gallery shows and sells local artists, while restaurant vendor Jamaica Mi Hungry 313 started serving jerk chicken, oxtail and more this fall from a walk-up window. The Black-owned business — in a city with few Black-owned liquor stores — is focused on community, hosting arts-centric events. Art and booze. Photo: Annalise Frank/Axios Context: Artist and owner Dominick Lemonious's family opened Liquor Basket in 2020, according to Planet Detroit . Around 2023, the art gallery aspect started to take shape. Zoom in: Liquor Basket sells the liquor-store usuals, but it also showcases Black-owned wine and liquor brands. 💭 Annalise's thought bubble: The booze offerings would probably pair well with Jamaica Mi Hungry 313's jerk chicken meal ($17). I tried the deeply flavored dish with smoky chicken and fresh veggies. The portion is plentiful. Fresh juice with mango and strawberry elevated the experience.

IV bar to be added to Gordon Commons

It’s not hard to see that Gordon Commons has been suffering. In a recent press conference held by the Gordon Commons Association Board (GCAB), the Deece’s most pressing issue was finally addressed: the wait times. Global Kitchen in particular, a popular food station noted for its fresh dishes and painstakingly slow preparation time, has lines that are often seen spilling out of the building and spiraling around the parking lot. But higher-ups have heard the cries of student discontent and, in a rare display of administrative agility, have implemented an exciting new station almost overnight. As students were surprised to discover this Monday on their routine walk into the building, Vassar has erected a fully functioning, state-of-the-art IV Bar.
