Craft brewing. Charcuterie. Pickling and fermenting. Homemade sodas. CSAs. Food trucks. All of these culinary trends are finding their way to Detroit. Finally.
And over the next couple of weeks, we'll highlight a few of them.
In Virginia Park,
Mama Rukiya is cooking up fish and sides with her
On the Porch Fish Fry enterprise. On Fridays only, orders can be placed starting at noon and no later that 20 minutes ahead of time.
Organic whiting, ocean perch, salmon croquettes, kentumere (fish and spinach in tomatoes) and eschovitch (fish spiced with Jamaican seasoning) are on the menu along with a rotating cast of sides like black-eyed peas and rice or collard greens. Entrees start at $8. Delivery is available, but waiting for an order on the front porch is definitely part of the experience.
Call
313-498-4281 to request a menu or to place an order. On the Porch is located at 7633 Woodrow Wilson.
While not exactly on the crest of a trend, it is still worth noting that

It hasn't been that long since we told you that
Third Street Bar has a taco truck. But we would be remiss not to mention that it is indeed open for lunch at 11 a.m.
