For restaurant owners, getting your location on the Food Network is pretty much like striking gold. Getting your restaurant on there twice is just incredible.
Earlier this week, Ann Arbor burger joint Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger was closed to customers as the network, for a second time, came in for filming.
The spot will reportedly be on the Food Network’s famed “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” program.
The restaurant posted on Facebook, “Sorry for any inconvenience and we will post soon about when you can catch us on TV,” but quickly deleted it. We’ll keep you posted on when the episode airs.
Jim Schafer launched Blimpy Burger in 1953 on South Division Street, and it changed ownership in 1993. Today, it’s located on South Ashley Street in 2012.
Some of our favorite aspects of Michigan:
Anne Erickson started her radio career shortly after graduating from Michigan State University and has worked on-air in Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Lansing and beyond. As someone who absolutely loves rock, metal and alt music, she instantly fell in love with radio and hasn’t looked back. When she’s not working, Anne makes her own music with her band, Upon Wings, and she also loves cheering on her favorite Detroit and Michigan sports teams, especially Lions and MSU football. Anne is also an award-winning journalist, and her byline has run in a variety of national publications. You can also hear her weekends on WRIF.
