FOOD MEDIA — In what’s become an almost weekly occurrence for national publications, Newsweek has published a really poorly edited guide of what to do in Detroit. While it claims to be written by a “native,” the restaurant section manages to imply that Buddy’s (where the square was invented) is the “generic version” of Detroit-style pizza — a statement that even “the best-square shaped, thick crusted pie” Loui’s Pizza would refute. WTF? [Newsweek]

MENU PORN — Woodbridge’s Pie-Sci pizzeria founder Jeremy Damaske will combine forces with his mentor, chef Anthony Lopicollo, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday.
