"When we started, we didn't have any money," says Brian Perrone, co-founder and executive chef of Slows Bar-B-Q in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood. "[The location] was just one building amongst others in a row of abandoned buildings that were left to rot. We really went to work."
The exploitative scheme was first uncovered by Outlier, which reported that RealToken properties are plagued by squalid conditions, unresponsive property managers, and arbitrary evictions.
We came together and decided to convene our community in a place that embodies the Summit spirit, that is filled with surprise and delight, and has abundant, beautiful spaces for us to activate and bring to life.
"We take the health and safety of Detroit residents very seriously," said Chief Public Health Officer Denise Fair Razo. "Through the Dining with Confidence Ordinance and our ongoing inspections, we are working to ensure that our city's restaurants are safe, clean, and meet the highest food safety standards."
