Ever since the city was founded by French immigrants in 1701, Detroit became an epicenter for cross-cultural exchanges. A city always on the move, Detroit’s foray into the industrial age sparked mass migration as newcomers sought to make their living in the automobile capital. One major way that these immigrants left their cultural mark on Southeast Michigan was through food. Indeed, restaurants began advertising their unique culinary traditions as early as the Civil War era—a tradition that continues to the present day.
