The Best Dishes Eater Detroit Editors Ate in August, 2024 | Eater Detroit

Each late-summer 'Tomato Week' showcases tomatoes on every menu item; a standout plate layers juicy green zebra tomatoes with peeled cucumbers over a lemony cannellini bean puree, finished with sesame, cumin, and chile. The puree uses beans sourced from local Carlson-Arbogast farm, and the chef-owner devised the tomato-only menu after a farmer suggested making the most of bumper tomato crops—when perfectly ripe, green zebra tomatoes can be intensely bright and almost taste like green Kool-Aid, offering appealing textural contrast and summery sweetness. - Eater Staff
