June Heatmap: Where to Eat Right Now

by Victoria Trudeau
View as Map
by Victoria Trudeau

Summer has brought an updated Eater Detroit Heatmap. Restaurants are celebrating with openings and new trends. Unlike that more stable of standbys, the Eater 38, the Heatmap aims to be more current as it catches wind of the newest, most popular places to eat and drink each month. The June map features a few new places, and some established places that are finding new life in brunch, extended tasting menus, and toast.

The June map features among others, B Spot Burgers Rochester, the first Michigan location for Michael Symon's burger chain; Mike's Kabob Grille, one of Gilbert's four mystery restaurants; and Torino, which now features a nine-course tasting menu with exotic Michigan ingredients as a key feature.

Had a less-than happy experience at one of these places? Been somewhere else that feels worthy of high praise and popular approval? Drop us a note on our tipline or leave your thoughts below.
