The Hottest New Restaurants in Detroit, January 2025

"Kevin Johnson, a former NBA All-Star and embattled mayor of Sacramento, has unveiled the latest location for his growing chain Fixins Soul Kitchen in Detroit’s Paradise Valley. Set within the space formerly occupied by Detroit Seafood Market, the re-imagined space is bright and open and features nods to the city’s legacy in music and pop culture throughout. Expect classics, such as chicken and waffles topped with grape-flavored butter, oxtail, shrimp, and grits, as well as deep-fried deviled eggs, pimento cheese dip, and collard greens with turkey necks." - Serena Maria Daniels
