A Chat With Justin Rashid, founder and president, American Spoon Foods

CS: So you grew up in Michigan?
JR: Yes, but I grew up in two extremes. I grew up in Motown in inner city Detroit. I spent every winter there for most of my life. But every summer we spent on that property my mother now owns in Wildwood, Mich., which is basically a ghost town. It’s an old lumber town in a valley 12 miles east of Petoskey. So it was two extremes: the inner city of Detroit and Wildwood, Mich., which is about as far away from anything as you can imagine.
