"The sale of the stalwart Hygrade Deli was perhaps one of Southwest Detroit’s worst-kept secrets. Stuart Litt, who’s run the iconic deli for the past 50 years, sold Hygrade to fellow restaurateur Chuck Nolen, the owner of another famous Detroit restaurant, Cutter’s Bar & Grill in Eastern Market, just before Christmas. [...] Nolen says that aside from making some cosmetic upgrades — not much has changed about Hygrade’s interior since opening its doors in 1955 — he wants to make the transition of ownership slowly so as to preserve its character." - Serena Maria Daniels
