For generations of Detroiters, the J.L. Hudson's department store in the heart of downtown was more than an incredible shopping experience, it was a landmark. Whether you went there at Christmas to see Santa, or to buy your first good suit, Hudson's was as much a part of Detroit as the auto industry. Among the many recollections people have, are the wonderful things Hudson's offered in their restaurants. The Canadian Cheese Soup was a longtime favorite on the Hudson's menu, and making it again took us back to those wonderful days on Hudson's 13th floor. This is part 1 of 2 in remembering J.L. Hudson's - in part 2 of 2 we recreate the department store's famous Maurice salad.
