[29]
I'm the owner creator of guns and butter
[34]
yeah minute I mean you private with Papa
[36]
before right the second I stepped out of
[39]
Michigan
[40]
the goal was you know I'm gonna come
[42]
back and open up amazing run straight
[44]
the scene is just it's starting to
[48]
explode a little bit I mean it's not
[50]
only places that are opening but places
[52]
that are opening that on a national
[54]
international level they're operating on
[56]
the same you know playing field that's
[60]
huge
[60]
the diners themselves is huge currently
[63]
run like a five thousand person
[65]
weightless they want great food they
[69]
want you know a great product I heard
[72]
this all the time like what are you
[73]
crazy like can go open up a prix fixe
[74]
tasting menu restaurant Detroit like
[77]
everybody's willing to try something but
[79]
you better come with the right product
[80]
because if it's then it's not
[82]
gonna you know we're gonna say it's
[83]
there's interests and they're
[86]
willing to try I mean it's a city that
[88]
was based on it you know invention right
[94]
so this dinner this pop-up was in
[98]
collaboration with shinola for Detroit
[101]
restaurant so shinola is Detroit based
[105]
company watches bikes they are at the
[108]
top of the game just because the synergy
[113]
was a line if we blew it out of the
[117]
water I like that so bring them all
[120]
together a little bit you know there's a
[122]
challenges definitely with doing pop-ups
[125]
right first and foremost is Labor
[128]
so finding freelance restaurant
[130]
employees is next to impossible did he
[132]
do any front of the house stuff you know
[134]
do you need to go do anything like my
[137]
main like a main server Mike right Mikey
[140]
was documented the first pop-up that we
[142]
did so here's the video Agra fir right
[144]
you happen to mention like hey I have
[146]
served tables in the past I was like
[148]
okay you're hired
[148]
my dishwashers homeless his name is Dee
[152]
Dee money great for another fun night he
[156]
is a hard-working guy you ever want to
[159]
know stories about Detroit what it's
[160]
really like growing up you talked to
[163]
deep you're hired
[165]
Michigan's the its agricultural scene is
[169]
in st. the second largest agricultural
[173]
production outside of California who
[175]
knows that far as the menu again
[179]
starting with the product and also
[181]
representing our region this past week
[185]
it was like alright
[186]
spring is here thank God so I really
[190]
wanted the food to kind of continue that
[193]
momentum wanted everything to be bright
[195]
and light it and if and refreshing and I
[200]
think the highlight of the menu for me
[202]
was the duck it's incredible we started
[206]
a dry-aged and ducks literally just
[209]
wanted to put the duck on the plate as
[212]
far as you know because the goal was to
[214]
just like highlight the lake
[216]
the breasts highlight the skin a shoe
[220]
that can be made from the carcasses our
[224]
goal is not to be a supper club
[225]
I hate supper I mean I don't hate suburb
[228]
I hate something fun all right
[230]
our goal is not to be anything more than
[234]
a pop-up restaurant and the word
[236]
restaurant is the most important part to
[241]
James after service
[244]
Anthony Chris and Doc dave goldman and
[246]
mark McInnis we went out that was using
[249]
the van initially yeah these two were
[252]
the newer and not the property yeah you
[257]
don't know doc well enough though
[259]
Douglas - James - James is the bar
[264]
distillery pretty small like tasting bar
[267]
got in the two James started catching
[270]
that second wind it's usually when you
[271]
walk in the door of the first bar very
[273]
similar to what guns and butter will be
[277]
great - the dough
[282]
basically incredible right yeah super
[285]
cool
[288]
yeah I mean looks like a star just to
[291]
feed off the energy of to James itself
[294]
the space and the products and you know
[295]
the execution like it commands that type
[299]
of energy early 1900s donut factory
