Corridor Sausage Co. to bring homemade links to Cass Ave.

Detroit's Midtown is turning into a bit of a food Mecca as it gentrifies. The latest entry into the mix is the Corridor Sausage Co., which comes from the people who make the food at The Whitney famous.

Excerpt:

Will Branch and Zach Klein will open Corridor Sausage Co. in Willys Overland Lofts on Canfield, next to Traffic Jam and Snug, in September 2010. They currently rent production space in Howell and make small batches for a handful of restaurants in Ann Arbor and Detroit, and their tasso ham is available for purchase at Avalon International Breads.

Ultimately, their 2,000-square-foot space inside Willys will offer fresh and smoked sausages, cured meats and other meat-based products. Besides traditional recipes, they specialize in slightly left-of-center charcuterie -- think lamb sausage blended with dried fig and ras el hanout. Branch characterizes their approach as "playful" and emphasizes their local commitment. "We're trying to use as many Michigan products as we can," he says.
