MLB Star Miguel Cabrera has a Venezuelan pop-up next to Comerica Park in Honor of His Retirement | Eater Detroit

"A family-owned, casual Venezuelan eatery founded in 2014 by Jose and Ray Gutierrez that grew from the founders’ homemade arepas shared with teammates into a beloved destination for Venezuelans and MLB players. The restaurant has become a particular favorite of Miguel Cabrera and has partnered with him for a pop-up just outside Comerica Park during home games through October 1; the short-term space displays a timeline of Cabrera’s career and offers mini arepas stuffed with beef or chicken, sweet corn cachapas, fried plantains, and a passionfruit drink for $15. A portion of pop-up sales benefits the Miguel Cabrera Foundation to support youth sports facilities and education, and the business’s rise is credited to persistent self-promotion, word-of-mouth among baseball players, and strong ties to the Venezuelan community in southwest Detroit." - Serena Maria Daniels
