MOB WEEKOctober 13–20
Niles, Michigan

The food was good, fast, and accurate. The Don Chepe crew kept a steady stream of orders moving, and their prepaid-meal board was the kind of quiet neighbor-helping-neighbor move that says a lot about a place. Helping someone eat while letting them keep their dignity deserves some love.

October’s Mob week has wrapped, but Don Chepe is still there when you’re hungry. Thanks to everyone who pulled up a chair, shared a picture, and put some love into a local place. Next month we trade tacos for soup at Coney Express.
