Series: Food Map of Detroit –the non gentrified version part 1 of a series

Food Map of Detroit –the non gentrified version ???What does that mean  the non- gentrified version? Well lets explore all the food venues that hung in there after the factory closed, a la Detropia  Like that bar that still makes soul food and has Live  Jazz 

 next to the Jefferson plant, (The Raven Lounge and Bar  ) this is a salute to food you can take home because its economical and tastes even better the next day.

SOme of these places are using locally sourced gardens now. Some of this is organic, but all of it requires that you walk some / ride the Dequindre cut – to burn some calories. What is so bad about that?

Motor City Soul Food is in the hood where I grew up.  NorthWest Side, not far from the old Jewish Community Center.  This place reminds me of New Years Day at my Aunts- Hopping John ,(Beans and Rice) ,  Chitterlings , mac and cheese, Collard Greens, fried chicken, potato salad, cornbread, pies, yams … like a church picnic

Motor City Soul Food

12700 W 7 Mile Rd
Detroit, Michigan 48235

(313) 863-7685

I grew up near here  from 1965 -1985  but this

joint was not here…It was fun coming back  to the hood  –  I knew the old Karps Drugstore was gone and Tom’s Tavern was still serving suds … if you like dives do stop by  …7 mile near Wyoming

Home Depot  is on the main corner across from Motor City Soul Food MAP

Do not be  surprised by the plexiglass, you get your food and take it home of course. Why ?   It is enough to spend $$$ on the rent/mortgage and the supplies and the food – which is why the place has not changed to satisfy those who need furniture … You should be cool, be hip and buy the product, then take your butt home.
