Food & Drink
NBRHD: New Center
It's the birthplace of the Ford Model T. Former global headquarters of GM and Fisher Body. But most importantly, it's the home of Motown.
At Table | Chef James Rigato
“I’m not the greatest chef, even in this town, but I just love good food. I have a philosophy that says ‘I only want to eat delicious things’”
Greektown | Golden Fleece Restaurant
Inside are the sounds of diners, cooks working before an open grill, the sizzle of flaming cheese, accompanied by the yells of “Opa!”, along with traditional Greek music.
Breakfast Special | Farmer’s Restaurant
Farmers Restaurant has a sparse interior, with an old school, Midwest design that has not changed for decades. Lets hope it never does.
Rose’s Fine Food | An East Side Diner
We ordered coffee and hot tea, and our server returned with both in vintage coffee and tea service.
AT TABLE | Chef Luciano DelSignore
Chef Luciano has been making food since age 14. He began under the guidance of his Italian family, who moved to the Detroit area from Abruzzo, Italy, an area just east of Rome.
NBRHD | North Detroit
If you’re a native Detroiter, you classify yourself as either an Eastsider or Westsider. This designation is then drilled down further with a representation of the mile road, or major road nearest to your hood.
NEW JOINT | MABEL GRAY
"He was asked why he was opening in a town where there was nothing and James [Rigato] said, ‘please, don’t say that: Hazel Park has been something for a long time, and I am very happy to be here.’”
