    HBO to develop series from Detroit-set novel 'Middlesex' - Mlive.com

    Could be another great HBO series, and a nice thing for the area, assuming it's filmed here. I liked the book a lot.

    Quoted: Actor-producer Rita Wilson will be in charge of developing a one-hour series out of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Jeffrey Eugenides novel, "Middlesex."

    Quoted: HBO has not commented yet on whether the series will actually be filmed in Detroit, but going off of recent trends (the network's new series "Hung" was filmed in the metro area), there's a good possibility.

      i wish it was "the virgin suicides". i know it was already made into a movie but i've got it stuck on my brain after hearing about it on npr recently. it will be interesting to see what they can do with "middlesex".

      Yeah, lots of historical settings to deal with. Should be interesting.

    Model D - What to Pair with Pork: Roast Chef Michael Symon Dishes on Drinking, Dining and Detroit

    I had assumed that Chef Symon didn't spend a lot of time here, but apparently that's not the case (or it is, but he hides it well). Nice interview.

    Quoted: I think it was one of those things that in the '50s and '60s it was very sophisticated to get a cocktail and a nibble. And then it kind of turned a little bit into … I don't want to say a train wreck of a happy hour kind of thing, but you know "eat a 40 buckets of wings and 25 cent beers." Which was fun when I was in college, but I think it just happened that fine dining moved away from it a little bit.
