It’s not often that I read a story that makes me want to rush back to my old hometown of Detroit but one in the NYTimes food section yesterday did. It was about a young Detroiter, a former male model no less, who has a bunch of entrepreneurial projects going on downtown including a barbecue place called Slows Bar B Q, in the Corktown neighborhood.
(Slows was also named by Budget Travel as one of the ten best bbq spots in the nation this year – and had good company, including two other places I’ve been to – Abe’s in Clarksdale, Ms. and Arthur Bryant’s in, of course, Kansas City.)
Other groovy new places in Detroit mentioned by the Times include Supino Pizzeria, serving artisanal pie near Eastern Market, and Roast, a restaurant in a luxury hotel downtown. Soon to open – SLOWS TO GO, at the corner of Alexandrine and Cass Avenue in Detroit’s Midtown district and Sugar House, a classic cocktail bar opening next to Slows.
