I gotta say, this Bev's Bagels thing sounds like a total win-win for Core City, but let's be real, it's also a masterclass in strategic branding
. By teaming up with all these different chefs, Sussman is not only pushing the envelope on flavors, but also tapping into the local foodie scene and cementing Bev's Bagels as a major player in Detroit's culinary landscape.
But here's the thing - this collaboration raises some interesting questions about gentrification and cultural appropriation
. I mean, are they really just celebrating Detroit's diversity or are they co-opting it for their own purposes? It's like, what does it say about our city's values if we're willing to let corporations swoop in and take credit for our food scene?
And don't even get me started on the implications of this partnership for small businesses and local ownership
. Is Sussman just using his "collaboration" as a smokescreen for his own business interests, or is he genuinely committed to supporting Detroit's culinary community? We need to hold him to account for that
