Detroit’s culinary scene will be on full display for an evening benefiting an area nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of Detroit’s neediest citizens
Now in its second year, an evening of food and drink is set to embrace Detroit. EAT Detroit 2022 is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 3!
EAT Detroit showcases the city’s diverse culinary scene with a one-of-a-kind experience benefiting underserved citizens, all in one night. People can enjoy the chef’s featured dishes, craft drinks, live musical entertainment, at more than 20 restaurants, all in the name of helping the initiatives of SAY Detroit that provide housing, food, medical care, education, and more to Detroiters in need at any age.
Folks can order up to six tickets and will wear a wristband, visit a restaurant, eat and drink until they’re full or the event ends at 9:30 p.m.
Tasting menus include three specialty dishes and one signature drink at each restaurant. Alcohol-free refreshments will be available as well. Strolling waitstaff and self-selected starting restaurants, along with recommended routes, will keep traffic flowing and eliminate long lines.
SAY Detroit, founded by Mitch Albom, improves the lives of Detroit’s neediest citizens through shelter, food, medical care, volunteer efforts and education. It is an umbrella organization for ongoing major projects, like Working Homes / Working Families and the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic. Learn more at the button below.
