Gluten Free at Comerica Park & Dow Diamond
THREE NEW BLOG POSTS THIS WEEK! I spent some time this past week talking the to the concession managers at Comerica Park (home of the Detroit Tigers) and Dow Diamond (home of the Midland Great Lakes Loons) to learn more about the gluten free items they offer. Click the links to the respective ball parks to learn more about their gluten free concessions.
And if you’re headed to Comerica Park, check out the restaurant Union Assembly across the street, on Woodward.

Hispanic vs Latin American vs Mexican
So a little bit of history in today’s newsletter. Despite some possible misconceptions, Cinco De Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day. It is, however, the day the Mexicans defeated the French, at the Battle of Puebla.
And just a reminder that Latin America encompasses Mexico and the countries of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. So while Mexican food is Latin American, the reverse is not necessarily true. Hispanic refers to any country where Spanish is spoken, which includes Spain.
