Last night Kero, Corbin Davis and I all went to Mudgie's Deli (owned by local electronic artist Greg Mudge). Located in the Corktown area, it was situated off-the-beaten path on Porter St. They specialize in creative and healthy sandwiches, soups, salads and home-cooked comfort food (in the evenings on weekdays and all day Saturdays).
I had the Ivey, since I'm a vegetarian (well, sometimes I eat fish...which makes me a "piscatarian" or something), and ingredients include complete freshness: Mudgie-made spinach spread (mmm garlicky!), alfalfa sprouts, havarti (which i sub'd for Pepperjack), romaine, tomato, avocado and shredded carrots, all on yummy, soft, multi-grain bread. Came with a little home-made "pickle" which really just tasted like a salt & vinegar mini-cucumber, it was delicious, and a slice of canteloupe. I'm getting hungry just thinking of it!
Kero had The Mudgie, which was stacked high with roast beef on an onion kaiser and had lots of yummy looking fixin's in there. I was too busy lookin' at my own huge sandwich to really notice anything but the beef, to be honest.
Corby had a selection from their "comfort food" menu, a hearty plate of Mudgie-made meatloaf with smashed potatoes (skin ON) and gravy.
The waitress there was super-sweet and brewed some fresh coffee (nice and strong, and gave me tons of cream, just how I like it) and the cook prepared everything exactly to our liking.
You may remember, a couple months ago having been there for Docile aka Andy Toth's record release party. Yep, that's right, Mudgie's is a "rave" spot AND a restaurant!
They serve Michigan's famous Faygo in glass bottles, and you can create your own sandwich with a list of ingredients (meats, veggies, condiments, breads, homemade stuff, whatever!) which makes this a choice place to eat for the pickier side of you. It's very reasonably priced as well! 3 of us ate and had drinks for about $30.00, tip not included.
And if that's not enough for you, Greg Mudge himself brought us out some of his delicious desert creations: Using a waffle-iron, he bakes brownies and cake-like things that remind you of your momma. We tried the Sweet Ruth and The Fudgie Brownie" (the menu is at their website, just click the title of this blog entry). Topped with warm caramel, ice cream AND whipped cream, it was incredibly delicious.
Afterwards we went to Corbin's apartment where I practiced my (still very weak) turntable skills, and Kero passed out on the couch, full bellied and satisfied, only to be woken up by Corbin & I laughin at his snores.
A sweet night all around thanks to Mudgie's and the Detund crew! xD
