Even if you’re a dedicated foodie, it’s tough to keep up with all the fabulous restaurants opening in Detroit. But long before the food renaissance of late began, the D had a “rich history in food and drink,” proffers local paper, Metro Times.

“Specifically, black-owned bars, restaurants, and other businesses have played an integral role in Detroit life, long before the city became a so-called food mecca.”

To give Detroiters a glimpse into that rich history, Metro Times assembled a list of 23 Incredible Black-Owned Restaurants in Detroit You Should Know About, which includes Dime Store.

We’re honored to be considered among so many phenomenal eateries and highly recommend eating your way through this list ASAP.
