    EPISODE 695: Batter up! What's new at Comerica Park

    This weekend on "Behind the Mitten," it’s ALL about baseball — and we had a blast getting a sneak peek of what’s new at Comerica Park with the Detroit Tigers! Amy Sherman sat down with Chef Mark and Chef Maggie to talk about the incredible new food coming to the ballpark this season (spoiler: it’s delicious).

    We’ll also fill you in on the special themed weekends and giveaways the Tigers have planned — some really fun stuff you won’t want to miss if you're heading to a game this year! Plus, we met some of the awesome local Detroit restaurants bringing their flavors to the stadium.

    On top of that, John's son Zak joins us on the show to talk about what baseball means to their family. They share some Tigers predictions, and chat about their own little podcast project, Big League Dreaming. Love that they can connect over this game they all grew up with.

  • Episode 694: Road trip show - Bay City to Frankenmuth (April 5-6, 2025)
    2025/04/07
    EPISODE 694: Behind the Mitten Road Trip -- Bay City to Frankenmuth

    In this episode of "Behind the Mitten," hosts John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman celebrate 10 years of exploring Michigan's Great Lakes State. They embark on a road trip from Bay City to Frankenmuth, visiting local attractions like Tummyache candy store and John's Bar. The conversation highlights the importance of community, local businesses, and upcoming festivals in Frankenmuth, including the opening of a new water park. The hosts share their love for Michigan's culture, food, and the joy of road trips.

    Segment 1: The trip begins at Tummy Ache Candy Store in Bay City, and Amy and Gonzo meet Starr Henning, who co-owns the store with her husband, Michael, and they also operate an ice cream truck called "Starshine." It's a fun first stop!

    Segment 2: Amy and Gonzo introduce you to the charmingly awesome John's Bar & Party Store located in Munger right on Hwy 15. When we say right on the highway, it's a house that is just steps from the corner of Tuscola and Munger Roads, on your way south to Frankenmuth. Owner Kellie Brown, who co-owns the bar with her mom Mary Ann, and who's parents previously owned it, welcome everyone in this unssuming house/restaurant/bar. Local beef meets that famous griddle for the perfect flavorful sear, pick your patties and toppings and Kellie will get to work like the pro that she is. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming.

    Segment 3: After their stop at John's Bar, they travel about 15 miles south to Frankenmuth to visit Amy Zehnder Grossi at Michigan on Main, which is a sister restaurant to Bavarian Inn. It's a familiar stop because Amy and Gonzo were good friends of martriarch Dorothy Zehnder, a true Michigan treasure who passed away in 2023 at age 101. As president of Bavarian Inn Restaurant, Amy Zehnder Grossi shares what's new, including the just-opened Bavarian Blast, one of Michigan's biggest water parks.

    Segment 4: The night ends with a wine and charcuterie experience at Prost! in Frankenmuth. It feels like a big-city restaurant in the Bavarian-themed village. It has a cozy fireplace and lively atmosphere.

    That completes our Bay City to Frankenmuth road trip!
