Detroit is a music town, a sports town, a car town, and, don't forget,
a food town, too. American Table is coming here on a food tour to show
why. They'll be here June 26-28, visiting eateries from Hamtramck to the River,
from Eastern Market to Ann Arbor. So, please wear you fat pants.
Excerpt:
The food favored by Michiganders is an amalgam of global dishes, imported to the Motor City
by generations of immigrants in search of steady work.
On this tour, which begins at the plant that produced the first Model T's,
we'll examine the contents of the lunch pails carried by the men and women
who built our nation's auto industry. Highlights of this tour include intimate group baking lessons at
the city's top ethnic pastry shops, a private tour of the nation's leading pistachio
factory hosted by Detroit Tigers centerfielder Curtis Granderson and a
five-course feast prepared by Zingerman's Roadhouse chef and James Beard
nominee Alex Young to celebrate the Southerners who heeded Ford's call to come north.
