Hazel, Ravines and Downtown – 1 Peabody Street, Birmingham – has decided to embrace its success with seasonal seafood takeovers and become a seafood restaurant all year. Debuting October 1, HRD’s menu will focus on the Pacific Northwest, and throughout the year the menu will change four times to stick with seasonal seafood. “Rather than sit back and just hope we’re doing what people want, it’s fun for us because we get to play with new things and can really pay attention to w

With fall quickly approaching, Heirloom Hospitality’s culinary director, Ryan Prentiss, decided to lean in to the season and added new appetizers and entrees at Townhouse Birmingham and Detroit.

Like their name suggests, Detroit Loves Tacos, Detroit does indeed love tacos, and husband and wife duo, Julie and Jason Stevens, are making tacos Detroiters can’t get enough of. While they’ve been doing pop-ups since 2018, when their catering business really took off, their most recent pop-ups are serving as a preview for their upcoming brick-and-mortar at 9425 John R, Detroit, which they hope to open by January 2021.

As of late September, both Detroit Vegan Soul restaurants – 8029 Agnes Street and 19614 Grand River – were officially open for curbside pick-up. “From a business standpoint, it’s great to be able to have both locations open and running,” said Kirsten Ussery, co-owner and general manager. “Also we know that our customers missed us...both of our restaurants are located within communities, within neighborhoods. So it feels good from both of those standpoints.” Their Grand River
