As the year of 2014 comes to a rapid close, I felt obligated
to provide one more food review before the New Year. Unlike the others, this one is somewhat
unique. In the heart of Downtown Detroit
pass the YMCA on Broadway; to the direct right of it, you’ll see an alley with graffiti
on the walls. Zipping down this narrow road in a hurriedly fashion, you’ll miss
this chic and newly opened fine dining establishment slightly passed the
airbrushed blocks. Dare to look up and
you’ll witness chefs in the window preparing the finest of works of arts. The
establishment I’m referring to is none other than the Wright and Company
located at 1500 Woodward.
Taking the elevator up to this eatery, my mouth dropped wide
open to the extravagance of it all. The décor
of this place; short of nothing but superb.
Ending up here on a limb, I saw a photograph of their potato chips.
Deciding they were a “must have” bathed in melted cheese, scallions, and
tomatoes infused with homemade oil, this “spud dish” for a limited time satisfied
my palate long enough for my next anticipated arrival.
As the server placed my main dish on the table, I stated to
myself “yes!” due to the presentation of their “TunaTarte.” Crafted from a
combination of Spicy Mayonnaise, Crispy Wontons, and Sweet Soy, ladies and
gentlemen, this was no ordinary piece of fish.
Gone within ten minutes flat, I was most satisfied with this sultry
selection. I’m giving Detroit’s Wright
& Company a four out of four stars and the 2014 nomination title of Detroit’s
Best new restaurant.
It’s been a great year serving as one of Detroit’s “go-to” persons
for dinning and food reviews. I look
forward to bringing you even more exciting critiques the year of 2015.
