If you're not a meat eater — but
even if you are — try Sasson's
one-of-a-kind veggie burger. Don't
expect a wimpy, frozen substitute
for the real thing. The delectable,
oversized black bean and brown rice
patty is like nothing I've ever seen
or tasted, and truly deserving of the
Townhouse burger name.
The Brussels sprouts are always
a must, cooked long enough to call
them crispy, but not so long that
you're eating a plate of burnt leaves.
Dinner menu highlights include
the power salad, cauliflower hum-
mus, macaroni and cheese, and
Townhouse wings.
Sasson's "Townhouse 2.0" will
feature much of his Birmingham
menu, with some modifications and
additions. Downtown you'll be able
to build-your-own burger, tacos
and sliders and enjoy a "modern
American dim sum" cart featuring
small plate favorites from the cur-
rent menu as it strolls throughout
the lavish and highly anticipated
space.

Back For Brunch
As boats are launched and pools
are opened, some of Metro Detroit's
best restaurants are bringing back
brunch just in time for warmer
weather. At the RenCen's Joe Muer
Seafood, Sunday brunch is back on
the menu — enjoy amazing views of
the Detroit River with a bite on their
patio, if you can get a seat.
Aaron F. Belen's Bistro 82 is again
livening up the corner of 4th and
Lafayette with its seasonal brunch,
offering Chef Derik Watson's clever
take on French fare.
Around the corner, Main Street's
Andiamo trattoria will introduce
a brunch service this month, and
Birmingham's 220 Merrill is also
launching its first brunch menu with
a number of unique options and an
impressive build-your-own omelet.

A Quick Kvetch For The
City Of Birmingham
I was incredibly disappointed to hear
that city leaders caved to pressure
from a handful of outspoken retail
owners in voting to deny outdoor
seating permits for Zack Sklar's pair
of new restaurants Au Cochon and
Arthur Avenue along Old Woodward
just north of Maple.
Although last fall I moved a few
blocks east of the apartment I rented
in downtown for four-plus years, it
was always the vibrant outdoor scene
that brought me to Birmingham.
More mature than Royal Oak
and far-less pedestrian than the
strip malls of West Bloomfield,
Birmingham has a SoHo feel that can
remind those of us who moved back
that city living doesn't require you be
hundreds of miles from your Bubbie!
Let's hope one shortsighted deci-
sion doesn't send the wrong message
to entrepreneurs like Sklar — it's
my sincere hope you all continue to
grow.
