Even during the sludgy gloom of a Detroit winter, the Eatery still managed to fill seats on a Tuesday.   Nikita Sanches started selling his crazy flavored pies (as Rock City Pies) at Ferndale’...

WATCH: How Does Living Wage Fast Food Joint Moo Cluck Moo Make It Work?

Moo Cluck Moo is not your typical burger joint.  They pay employees $15 an hour, which is considered a fair living wage.

Interestingly enough, the Wagyu beef burger that they serve is a dollar cheaper than a McDonald’s Big Mac. The debate about fair living wages for fast-food workers made quite the splash in 2014, and became the center of a larger national debate about raising minimum wage overall...

Selden Standard Raises The Standard Of Dining In Midtown

Turning up Second avenue from Selden, which has recently become a two-way street, vehicles parked tightly on either side of the road were shepherded by a security car in the middle lane with its orange beacon light rotating slowly. It’s a welcome measure for the patrons of Selden Standard, a chic new snap-casual restaurant serving “rustic, fun new american small plates” (according their website)  in a former dry cleaner building on the otherwise desolate corner. Though by the numbers Midtown is...
