The culinary landscape of Detroit's Midtown has a fresh addition with the grand opening of Epiphany - Nain Rouge Kitchen, a new restaurant aiming to blend global flavors with American comfort food, reports CBS News Detroit. Backed by the local nonprofit Soil2Service, the establishment has settled into a historic building at 644 Selden Street, a location with a storied past as the former Smith Welding Supply & Equipment Company and Owosso Casket Company.
The endeavor is led by Jeremy Abbey, Executive Director of Soil2Service, alongside John T. Piazza, Executive Director of Business Development, who have both expressed their excitement about contributing to Detroit's culinary and cultural fabric through this latest venture, according to details provided by ClickOnDetroit.
