El Guapo food truckForgive me, I’m a bit jet-lagged after arriving home from vacation today. After tons of the typical rain and crappy weather in the UK, it was a delight to land and find such nice spring weather here in Detroit. Even with my stuffy nose, I can still smell the blooming lilacs!
Speaking of spring, it's Earth Day on April 22nd. Plant flowers or a tree and clean up your corner of the world.
There are tons of good eats going on in the city this week. Fill your tummy and get out there and enjoy Detroit!
