Detroit Deli Named Among Best Sandwich Shops In America

DETROIT, MI — Detroiters know all about Mudgie's Deli in Corktown, but now it's getting some national love.

Thrillist published their list of the 33 best sandwich shops in America this week and Mudgie's is the only Michigan spot that made the list.

Here's what they had to say:

"Corktown is Michigan's best neighborhood for boozers, and Detroit's best sandwich shop adds to that designation with its built-in wine shop and 100+ beers. But even if all the place offered to drink was tap water, it'd still be a must-eat on any sandwich pilgrimage.

It takes but one bite of a Mudgie's Brooklyn sandwich -- named for the Detroit street… not everything's about you, New York -- loaded with roasted brisket, Sriracha beer cheese, and maple-glazed onions to crown the Corktown institution the king of Michigan sandwiches.
In a town known for coneys, Mudgie's has been going full artisan, roasting its own corned beef for its take on the traditional Reuben (onion bun > rye bread, though it has both) AND the fish for the not-so-at-all traditional Salmon Reuben.. And everything it doesn't make, it gets from local vendors. This is Detroit pride, sandwiched between buns."

Mudgie's is also known for their popular "Lobster Week," which runs this week.

Mudgie's is located at 1300 Porter Street in Detroit.
