DETROIT – Evrod Cassimy: Happy Monday to ya! A brand new week after a severe winter weather alert weekend! What’d you do this weekend? Friday, my wife and I went to dinner at Bakersfield in Downtown Detroit and then celebrated the engagement of two of our friends at Sugar House. If you have never been there I highly recommend. Saturday, I stayed inside for most of the day and enjoyed pizza with my boys and can I just tell you, it was AMAZING. Finally the rain let up a bit and I went to a surprise 70th birthday party for one of my friend’s father. I served as the host for the big event held at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. It was great! Sunday we stayed home and spent time as a family and here we are now back to work and school this Monday morning. Thanks for watching this morning!
Tomorrow is Tasty Tuesday. I’m really curious about the restaurant we’re featuring. It sounds great! See ya from 4:30-7am!
