The Skinny (Salad) at Wize Guys

Do you ever let yourself get too busy to do things that you want to do purely for enjoyment – JUST for you? I do it all the time. Like I feel guilty doing things that don’t necessarily contribute to my household or my family. I know, that’s something I may want to take up with Therapist. But I know I’m not the only one who says, “Maybe I can squeeze that in later” when it comes to fun stuff.  Shannon’s the same way. So we came up with a way to do more fun things without feeling guilty about it – Find a way to associate it with work! Genius, right? And one of the things we’ve  both been wanting to do is explore more of the downtown goodness that is popping up all over Flint. So we have decided to take time out of our busy schedules, eat some good food & soak up a little culture – all just for you.  :) Big Red says she loves to eat so she’s digging right into the restaurants with Wize Guys Pizza.

“I love seeing the new businesses going in downtown Flint! Especially the restaurants, because Big Red loves to eat!!  Well I went to WIZE GUYS PIZZA, INC this week and had the “Skinny Salad”- Here’s how it works…you go up to the counter and first choose the type of lettuce you want, then select your “toppings” such as fresh cut veggies,  egg, cheese, cranberries, croutons, and so much more. Then pick a protein if you like – grilled chicken, tuna, ham and many more.  Top it off with your favorite dressing, and your last choice to make is whether you want it tossed or chopped. They make it in front of you and serve it to you with some pizza crust type breadsticks! It was SOOOOOOO yummy!

This restaurant opened this past year along with 501 Bar and Grill. Both are owned by Blue Collar Gourmet which also owns the Redwood Lodge and Bubba O’Malley’s. The opening of these two restaurants added about 75 jobs in Flint too! There is Wifi, tons of flat screens TV’s hanging from the ceiling and best of all the view of the beautiful buildings on Saginaw St!

I haven’t been to Wise Guys yet, have you? But I just added the Skinny Salad to my list of things to do in Flint.
