DXF Challenge Weekly Recap (Week 7)

The DXF Challenge is our way to inspire Detroiters to spend the summer experiencing the food and drinks at some of the 622 bars, restaurants & cafes on our DXF’s checklists through Instagram! Every time a challenger visits a bar or restaurant, they tag @WeKnowDetroit with a picture of them enjoying something delicious, using the hashtag #DXFChallenge. And you can too!

Here’s our #DXFChallenge weekly recap, featuring some of the latest stops & best moments from this week’s top 10 #DXFChallengers!

Jalepeno cheddar with Sy Gingsberg Corned beef? Sounds like these bagels pack a real punch!

Hipster alert our very first visit really great coffee, good Bagel sandwich a Club and Ruben on Jalapeño Cheddar with Sy Gingsberg Corned Beef saved the day me favorite meat in all Detroit. We both agreed once was enough Bagel were chewy gooey n small, just don't get it, I'm sure the Hipsters enjoy. #dxfchallenge @weknowdetroit #detroitinstituteofbagels #eaterdetroit #yelpdetroit #metrotimesdetroit #thrillist #foodbeast #zagat #zomato #foodindetroit #motorcitymunchers #thehungrydudes #chowdowndetroit #chowhound #myfab5 #corktowndetroit #bagels #hipsters @chickinthemitt @michewsbrews @mmmitch1123 @em_214 @wrzain @downriversavage @kbdelaney @kari6340 @katie95720
