What’s the Dill is a new sandwich shop in Detroit’s University District - Eater Detroit
"Detroit’s University District has a new takeout lunch spot that specializes corned beef, turkey, chicken, and veggie sandwiches stacked high with all the classic deli fixings — aside from one essential detail. Instead of using slices of bread, the newly-opened What’s the Dill shop at 4088 West McNichols utilizes a hefty kosher dill pickle cut open hoagie-style as the handheld meal’s vessel. The pandemic-era project, turned restaurant is the work of Leona Milton, a veteran in the restaurant industry, who came up with the idea to swap out bread for a pickle in 2021 while preparing a party food tray. On Thursday, April 13, Mayor Mike Duggan joined Milton and her business partner and husband Kenny Milton outside of the deli for a ribbon-cutting ceremony in recognition of the shop receiving a $25,000 Motor City Match cash grant to aid in its opening." - Serena Maria Daniels
