Detroit restaurants cook for Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate dinner series
View Comments
To honor Asian American and Pacific Island Heritage Month, Detroit restaurants are teaming up to offer five-course carryout meals for two this May.
The dinner series, named “Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate,” was born in Washington, D.C., and will be offered in Detroit on May 16, May 23 and May 30. There are 14 local restaurants on board, including Bunny Bunny in Eastern Market, which is where diners pick up their meals.
It’s a rare chance to experience the cuisine of five local chefs in one meal (and as a carryout option, to boot), and it’s also an opportunity to help raise funds for local AAPI organizations at a time when anti-Asian hate crimes are on the rise. Restaurants are reimbursed for food, but more than half of the $150 charge is donated.
