I know for others, especially my friends in the restaurant industry, this year has been very tough. That’s why my family and I decided we would try to buy all of our Christmas gifts from locally owned shops. 🤣As a foodie, this year I am requesting gift cards to local restaurants. These restaurants have supported our local sports teams, donated to our kids fundraisers, been the site of many of our celebrations. So if you are in a position to help, give someone a gift card to their favorite local restaurant.

Knowing that, some Metro Detroit restaurants came up with a solution. “I’m an emotional guy, I feel for those people,” said Joe Ciamillo.
