More: Ralph Mahalak Jr. to be honored at Scouting dinner "There is a real need for this in my community," she wrote on the GoFundMe page. "If we can open in the next 6 to 9 months, this project could create about 15 to 20 full- and part-time positions." LaZette spent 10 years as a special education teacher, helping those with disabilities to learn job and life skills. When she moved to the Monroe area three years ago, she found that opportunities were scarce for her students. "So, I knew I wanted to do something, and I knew I wanted to do something that kind of stood out against the grain, and for some reason, pizza and beer just stuck in my head," she previously said.

Dead or trapped pests found at Garden City eatery

Recent health inspections in some Garden City restaurants found accumulations of insects on insect traps and more between September and October, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports.

Abdul El-Sayed is for 'shawarma law'. Where to try his favorite, others

Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed, this week joked that he is for "shawarma" not "Sharia" law, when speaking to reporters this week. "Do not believe the people who say I'm for Sharia law, I'm for shawarma law," El-Sayed said at a campaign stop in Macomb County. The joke made light of those who are concerned that El-Sayed, the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Senate, will force all Americans to adhere to the religious concepts of Islam, an accusation he has denied. El-Sayed during the conversation then recommended Detroit-area shawarma shop Amo Samis , which operates several locations throughout southeast Michigan. "I want to explain what the tenets of shawarma law are. If you get a shawarma and it's got lettuce in it, it's not shawarma, it's just a sandwich. Someone has lied to you," El-Sayed said on the food. What makes for good shawarma? If you've already tried El-Sayed's favorite, here's a look at five other places to try to the food first created in Turkey. More: El-Sayed calls Vance habibi in victory speech. What does it mean? What is shawarma? Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made from thin slices of marinated meat — usually chicken, beef, lamb,

Longtime metro Detroit restaurants close as owners cite rising costs

Across metro Detroit, longtime restaurants plus a bakery are among the businesses that closed in October. Several of the closing announcements brought diners and customers out in droves for one last taste, slice or sip. On the October list of closings is the last location of the Sign of the Beefcarver in Royal Oak, Capri Italian Bakery in Dearborn and Perry’s Pizza in Clawson – all in business for decades. And like other recent closings, owners cited the economy and high food costs as the reason for closing. Here’s a roundup of metro Detroit's late September and October closings. Atwater in the Park Grosse Pointe Park This Grosse Pointe Park brewery, with a taproom and biergarten in a former church, poured its last pints on Oct. 23.

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.
