Chefs Leave Acclaimed Seafood Spot Voyager in Ferndale | Eater Detroit

"At this popular Ferndale seafood restaurant, I've seen several big transitions: during the pandemic it switched to carryout and grocery service, and now as it reopens for patio-only, socially distanced seating it's undergoing a kitchen change after chefs Jennifer Jackson and Justin Tootla—who collaborated there for more than three years at the nationally acclaimed neighborhood restaurant and had helped Eli Boyer open downtown Detroit burger spot Lovers Only before focusing on Voyager and their forthcoming restaurant—departed in June; they are expected to announce a new project soon. Justin Fulton, previously of Pernoi, is taking over in a consulting chef role, and under his direction the menu is shifting toward more casual dining with dishes such as British-style fish and chips, Maine mussels with heirloom beans, Connecticut lobster rolls, and spicy fried chicken sandwiches. The restaurant is continuing its carryout “dockside” menu and introducing bottled to-go cocktails like Mai Tais and whiskey smashes." - Brenna Houck
