  2. The Nazis captured my babushka Valentina (right) and her Russian family when she was 8 years old and put them on a train to a work camp. As fate would have it, the train broke down somewhere in Lithuania, and those who were still alive somehow managed to tip the train car over and escape into the dense forest, where they survived on berries and mushrooms until a landowner took them in as house servants. I remember her telling me the story of how they sent her, a little girl, up to a house in the Lithuanian countryside to beg for bread, only to be turned away… Baba Valya lived an incredibly hard life, but she survived, married a Polish man, and together they had an only child, my mother. I can’t smell wild dill in the summer without thinking about her. And every time I say my son Val’s name, it’s a tribute to her perseverance and a reminder that life is worth fighting for. So it was emotional and deeply fulfilling for me to be able to cook the food of my ancestors at @framehazelpark this weekend, and share Valya’s incredible survival story with 80+ friends and strangers while serving a warm berry compote made from black currants and blackberries from my own garden over tvorog-stuffed blinchiki. Food is a connector. Not just at the table, but across space and time. It’s how we preserve and share our stories with each other, traversing all of our human-designed boundaries toward something deeper than I can articulate with words. I’m honored to be able to call this my work, and so, so grateful for all of your support. Thanks to all who gathered to celebrate, and special shout out to my brothers @gabrielseptiumiu & @l.x.e_mo_seen for the help. If you missed it, just know I’m already planning the next one. Stay tuned… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  3. WHAT AM I UP TO?💥 Lots of people have been asking me lately, and I don’t know that I’ve ever done one of these “introduction” posts. So let me tell you about this magical place where I’m coming up on 2 years as editorial director… I joined the team at @framehazelpark in late 2021 after taking a buyout from the Detroit Free Press, where I was the restaurant critic. At the Freep, I covered the opening of Frame and was a frequent guest of its revolving chef dinners. I’d worked in a limited capacity with Frame founders @joevaughn & @cari.vaughn previously at Hour Detroit, where Joe had photographed most of the food coverage for 25 years. So when he asked me to come on board to help launch an editorial component, it felt like a natural fit. My role has evolved in the almost two years I’ve spent here, and today I help conceptualize and brand dinner ideas, scout and recruit chefs and culinarians for our spaces, represent Frame in various media outlets, work on marketing copy, shoot and edit all of our video content, and occasionally host my own themed dinners. This place and these people have allowed me to continue on my path of food storytelling in a way I never dreamed possible, learning the industry from the inside, pushing myself into new mediums, and working with hundreds of the most talented people in food on a day-to-day basis. I’ve learned the challenges of running a for-profit business with a unique business model and no roadmap, as well as the fulfillment that success brings. Frame is a true incubator, and an important stage for Michigan’s culinary community, linking the city and suburbs while giving up-and-coming chefs and creatives a safe space to learn, fail, adapt, thrive, and be seen. Every one of our experiences is a true collaboration. We share in both the wins and the misses, and the sheer breadth of our programming means that we are learning every day. Sunday July 9 I’m hosting a Slavic-style dacha picnic at Frame, cooking some family recipes, and I hope you’ll join me to see (and taste) what I’ve been up to… telling food stories, celebrating good humans. ❤️ Ticket link in bio. 🎟️ More questions about my work @framehazelpark?

  1. Greetings! At Chartreuse, our team is the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to shine a light on the incredible individuals who make this place so special with our Staff Spotlight Series! 💚 Each week, we’ll be celebrating a different member of our team, their hard work, passion, and the unique impact they bring to Chartreuse every day. This week, we’re shining a light on someone whose leadership, dedication, and vision continue to shape not just Chartreuse, but the industry as a whole—our General Manager, Taki! Taki joined our restaurant family in 2023 at Freya (@freyadetroit), quickly working her way up to expo before stepping into the role of General Manager at Chartreuse in July 2024. With her calm, solution-focused leadership, she has implemented positive changes that have strengthened both the team and guest experience. Beyond Chartreuse, Taki is deeply committed to the hospitality community. She is the Community Liaison for Hospitality Included (@hosp.included) advocating for a more sustainable and equitable industry. She is also the founder of KINTOMI (@kintomidetroit) a chef and dining program that creates immersive culinary experiences while fostering creativity and collaboration in the food world. Her impact is felt in every space she’s part of, and we’re so grateful for the passion, care, and leadership she brings to Chartreuse every day. 💚 Drop a 👏 in the comments to show some love for Taki! #ChartreuseDetroit #StaffSpotlight #WeAreChartreuse #LeadershipInHospitality #Detroit #DetroitHospitality
