Crain's erstwhile food writer Nathan Skid takes a stab at that
New York Times article describing how Phil Cooley and Slow's helped create a foodie revolution in Detroit. He's not the only one, of course. We at Model D have sent hugs and kisses (and no doubt, customers) to the corner of Michigan and 14th for over five years and nothing will dissuade from doing more of the same. At the same time we send our consolation to all the deserving others who've not yet made it into the nation's, nay, the world's, most powerful daily.
Excerpt:
It seems like some folks are taking issue with Cooley and his
restaurant's popularity instead of calling out the media, who write the
same story over and over.
Since moving here in January 2008, I've learned just how small this
big city is and how interconnected we are. Each success story should be a
shared experience for the business owners, restaurateurs and residents.
