FOOD ISSUE // FEATURE
Metro Detroit’s food and drink reach goes beyond our borders
Detroit’s dining scene has been covered extensively both locally and nationally. With this year’s food issue, we go beyond our borders to explore a slice of Detroit’s international food and drink connections as well as view our own food scene through an outsider’s perspective. We travel to Spain on a guided wine journey with Nurria Garrote. We also explore Bangladeshi culinary and gardening traditions with Bandhu Gardens, a community gardening network run by women in a Detroit neighborhood straddling the Hamtramck border. We learn how to make Cantonese dumplings and sit down to a hot pot feast in Eastern Market. We satisfy our sweet tooth with a baker who learned French pastry in Shanghai. And a nationally known food blogger who goes by The Hungry Black Man gives us his take on eateries largely unheralded by the national media as well as many locals.
No matter what your cultural background may be, food is one of the few common denominators that we all share. Let’s feast on Detroit’s delicious diversity.
