Michael Mina's Detroit Venture

[terapinchef]

Just looking for some information on the whole project. I know that it is slated to be operational sometime soon but don't know too much about the overall venture...ie, I'm not really familiar with Mina's style, or the location they are using in the casino. Anyone that is working there? Planning to work there? Worked for him in the past? Just looking for a sketch of the idea.

I don't have any inside information, and you've probably seen these, but the MGM website offers "sketches" of these restaurants:

Also, I linked to the following in another thread. The analogous article in the Free Press mentioned that David Viviano of the Grill at the Ritz-Carlton is also going to the MGM.

Thanks for the links. I'm a full-blooded Detroiter and I'm always curious about what's going on in the Detroit culinary scene. It's also good to hear that David Viviano is doing well, I used to work with him when he was at Coach Insignia.
