Matt Basile, travel aficionado and grill master of the Fidel Gastro team continues his never ending search of new and interesting foods, as well as new cooking techniques to implement in his own special style. This particular trip was to the most populated city in the entire state of Michigan and one many of you will be familiar with, Detroit. Metro Detroit is actually home to 5.3 million people which makes it the fourteenth-most populated metropolitan area in the entire United States. It also holds the title of the second-largest metropolitan area in the Midwestern United States, falling just short of Chicago. Detroit is known for a wide variety of foods many of which Matt had an opportunity to get to know on a deeper level. Matt stopped by Supino Pizzeria for some delicious Detroit style pizza. Located in the Eastern Market and featured on the Food Network web site Supino Pizza serves up some of the tastiest pizza in the entire region. He also stopped by the Republic, located in the GAR building, which was actually built for civil war veterans, making it a historic landmark, and has been converted into a tavern. The full name of the building was originally the Grand Army of the Republic, and the tavern decided to keep a piece of that heritage alive. Executive Chef Kate Williams broke new ground with her vision of a restaurant that uses local ingredients, employs time-honored food preservation methods and emphasizes "extremely seasonal, nose-to-tail eating." His next stop was the Woodpile BBQ Shack. Being a BBQ master himself Matt simply had to see what all the fuss was about when it came to the renowned flavor of the Woodpile BBQ dishes. Of course, he went straight for the ribs. Some of you have no doubt seen his video for Caja Smoke BBQ Ribs so you understand his undying love of a high grade smoked BBQ Ribs. These particular were definitely not a disappointment. Moving on from there Matt sampled the legendary Catfish Tofu. Detroit is in fact one of the only places this unique dish is served, and it certainly deserves its reputation. He also stopped by Gold Cash Gold, which according to many online reviews serves amazing food and should definitely be visited if you happen to be in Detroit.
