Pop-Up Dinner at Frontera; After School Special

EASTERN MARKET— Long awaited Eastern Market restaurant Frontera still isn't open—though it was practically ready to go in May—but they're hosting a pop-up on September 19 in conjunction with the Detroit Design Festival. Chef William Huffman from Montauk, NY will serve a five course dinner alongside champagne and cocktails from Joe Rob. There will be a cash bar for unpaid guests and "edible hydrophobic design elements." Tickets are $69. [Eaterwire]

FOOD CAL— The Detroit News offers a roundup of food related events. Detroiters will have an opportunity to learn about Jewish contribution to culinary history, sample authentic Lebanese food, vegan food truck goodies, and other food from around the world, and even take part in a farm to table block party.
