There’s perhaps no greater honor than when a respected chef enjoys your food and hails it as one of the best in the area. That’s why we’re over the moon to hear that Chef Les Molnar of Detroit’s Green Dot Stables and Johnny Noodle King considers Dime Store one of his favorite Detroit brunch spots.

Dime Store is such “an inviting place… you kind of forget that you’re in downtown Detroit for a minute,” says Molnar in Thrillist’s roundup of The Best Brunches in Detroit, According to Your Favorite Chefs.

Noting Dime Store’s quality ingredients, Molnar recommends the Duck Reuben Sandwich paired with a Bloody Mary.

Thanks for the kudos, Chef Molnar! Our recommendation for area foodies: make a day of Detroit food with Dime Store for brunch and Johnny Noodle King for dinner!
