Join us at the Scarab Club in Detroit for a conversation with special visiting guest Mitchell Davis, Chief Strategy Officer of the James Beard Foundation, based in New York City. Best known for awarding excellence in food, the organization has recently turned their attention to equity, including shifting their own policy to diversify their coveted awards. Writer & cook Tunde Wey sits down with Davis to discuss changing tides and moonshots for the future, with closing remarks by Devita Davison of FoodLab Detroit and Mark Kurlyandchik, food critic for the Detroit Free Press.
