THE CHAINS — The jury is still out on whether all day breakfast, beginning October 6, can save the struggling McDonald's franchise; however, the company is trying to drum up some buzz in Detroit before the rollout. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on September 29, McDonald's will be handing out free breakfast at Campus Martius. [EaterWire]

EVENTWIRE — For those who haven't already heard, Dine Drink Detroit launches September 28. But if you're the type of person who skips straight to the cheap seat launch party ticket you may have missed who's cooking for VIP. The "Riverfront Exclusive" experience on Monday is being catered by none other than chefs Craig Leickfelt (formerly??? Guns + Butter) and Brion Wong (recent Antietam expat). For $50 get six food and drink tickets and access to the VIP bar. [EaterWire]
