The enormous orders come in daily and former Michigan offensive lineman Cory Zirbel is happy to keep his Subway restaurants running while delivering hundreds of meals each day to local hospitals, and police and fire department first responders.
Zirbel and his wife, Jakki, who own several Subway restaurants in Metro Detroit, began to raise money a few weeks ago to deliver food to those on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve also been called on by a locally generated Facebook group, FLAG (Front Line Appreciation Group of Metro Detroit), which is ordering food from 30-plus restaurants to supply healthy meals for hospital workers all over the area.
