Chef Takashi, owner of Slurping Turtle in Chicago/Ann Arbor, recently hosted a ramen battle charity benefit at his Ann Arbor location. As the Detroit News reported, Chef Andy won the battle with a chicken ramen based on chickens, hens, and eggs from Salomon Gardens, and the $2,000 prize goes to Cass Community Social Services.

Andy’s recipe and an interview with Takashi are available online at the Channel 7 website.

We were also fortunate enough to be included in a summary from USA Today of new businesses opening in Detroit.

Finally, WDIV re-visited a story they did last year about Andy as well as our good friends Marc (Wright & Co) and Dave (Supino, La Rondinella). You can watch the video clip on the ClickOnDetroit website.
