The sixth annual “Taste of the Lions” event took place Wednesday night at Ford Field, and the timing couldn’t have been any better. Unless you’re a fan of the Detroit Tigers’ youth movement (I’m a card holding member of the Jeimer Candelario fan club by the way), there isn’t much to be excited about right now on the Detroit sports scene. Besides, after the coach scandals and crushed NBA Lottery dreams of the past few weeks, we all are in need of a sports pick-me-up.
This event delivered. It combined two of the best F-words (Football and Food) and is sandwiched between the buzz of the NFL Draft and Training Camp.
