The Metro: Detroit chef pop-up turns food into an immersive journey
Chef Tyrrell Hutchins joined The Metro to explain what inspired his Juneteenth menu and the Happy Sunday format.
Happy Sunday is a culinary experience curated by Tyrrell Hutchins every other month.
Longtime chef Tyrrell Hutchins curates meals with a dual purpose: connect ancestral traditions with contemporary technique. He demonstrates this through his Happy Sunday pop-up events. It’s an immersive multi-course dining experience that takes place every other month.
On June 14, the menu will feature Black American cuisine in anticipation of the Juneteenth holiday.
Hutchins joined The Metro to explain what inspired this month’s menu and the Happy Sunday format. Additionally, Hutchins discussed why it’s important to connect and work with local farmers.
“I feel like it’s very vital to capitalize on the things around us,” Hutchings said. “Our urban farmers are using a lot of ingenuity to create and produce and I want to highlight what they’re doing at the highest level.”
