Experience a Northern Michigan Treat with Motor City Pasty Co.

A flavorful food typically associated with Michigan's Upper Peninsula is making its way to Detroit. 

The Motor City Pasty Co. is hoping to turn this culturally iconic treat into a staple of the Metro Detroit dining scene.

Owner Jason Edberg stopped by the Fox2 Kitchen Sunday morning to share some of his signature pasty recipes and show how they're made.
