On May 2 of this year, Andy is going to be participating in Savor Detroit, a five-day event featuring ten of Detroit’s finest chefs.
Here’s the idea: Each of the nights, a pair of chefs will prepare a four-course meal with wine pairings. Beforehand, guests will also enjoy a cocktail hour featuring some rad libations from our buds at the Sugar House as well as light appetizers and live entertainment.
The event will take place at the Great Lakes Culinary Center on 9 Mile in Southfield.
The national food site Eater just published a list of the 50 most anticipated restaurants in the United States for 2014. And we’re on it.
First and foremost, thanks to Eater and to everyone in Detroit who has been supporting us as we’ve started this endeavor. And we promise we’ll do our best to live up to the hype. In fact, we’ll spend the next three days doing some serious cocktail R&D. In all seriousness, though, it’s an honor to be included with the other establishments on that list, and we can’t begin to describe how much we’re looking forward to serving Detroit.
We’d like to buy everyone a bottle of bourbon for the holidays because, hey, the support for our new venture has been outstanding. But alas, we just can’t.
Instead, Andy put together a few recipes you might be able to use in your celebrations this year. Download the printable PDF recipe cards from the link below. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
Chef Andy is one of six chefs participating in the already sold-out Young Guns dinner. James Rigato, chef at The Root in White Lake, organized the event, and it looks pretty awesome. Nicole at “Eat It Detroit” interviewed Andy about the dinner, about Selden Standard, and about his take on cooking in general. We’re a little biased, but it’s a nice read.
I guess our first bit of publicity means we’re really official. Check out the details of our project on Curbed Detroit.
