Show notes
There's a bunch of new spots opening in Detroit ahead of the NFL Draft, and one of the latest - and capturing the most buzz - is Adelina on Woodward Avenue.
Across from the massive Hudson's site tower and a block from Campus Martius Park, it's location is second to none. But also adding to the mix is celebrity chef Fabio Viviani, who you might know from Top Chef or his many other restaurants.
In a special conversation in the restaurant, Jer sat down with Fabio and Chefs Marco Dalla Fontana and Gabriel Botezan to talk about not just the concept - but what goes behind making a restaurant like this go.
What kind of food they love, but you might not see on a menu.
How it's easy to keep a restaurant filled for the first few weeks, but the real test is a year later.
