Southwest Detroit Restaurant Week is Back

Southwest Detroit Restaurant Week (SWDRW) is back again for the 3rd year! This celebration of Latin American cuisine is a 10-day event including more than 20 restaurants with “Latin Roots”.

As in previous iterations, the participating restaurants will offer an exclusive “heritage dish,” one that is not on the menu and will not be available once the event is over. Additionally, this year, the event will feature an inaugural Food Truck Rally at Batch Brewing Company.

SWDRW’s main goal is to invite and inform people about Latin American culture and heritage, specifically in Detroit, while increasing foot traffic via discovery. Each of the restaurants’ recipes will exemplify a form of the authenticity of its roots, many of these dishes people have not tried before.

This year’s 10-Day event starts on Friday September 30th and will conclude on Sunday October 9th. A list of participating restaurants will be available at swdetroitrestaurantweek.com in early September.

The Food Truck Rally will take place on Monday October 10th, between 4 – 10 pm at Batch Brewing Company, located at 1400 Porter St, Detroit, MI 48216.

SWDRW organizers are dedicating this year’s event to Monica Echeverri Casarez, an original co-founder of the event. She was an integral part of its creation and an influential and passionate individual who was dedicated to bettering the world before she left it. She was a fierce advocate whose passion and drive continue to resonate within the community. With Mrs. Casarez passing away due to COVID-19, Juan Carlos Dueweke-Pérez and others took on the task of continuing a legacy she sparked.

This year’s SWDRW would not be possible without the leadership of Juan Carlos Dueweke-Perez of Featherstone, Leslie Vargas of La Jalisciense, Jorge Casarez (husband of the late Monica Casarez, original co-founder of the event), Mayte Penman from TechTown Detroit, Shaffwan Ahmed, Chef Ederique Goudia from Gabriel Hall, Chef Amanda Saab, and Fatou-Seydi Sarr of African Bureau of Immigration and Social Affairs.

For more information, including joining this event as a volunteer, follow the event’s Instagram and Facebook page.

¡Vuelve “la semana del restaurante” en Southwest Detroit!

¡La Semana del Restaurante del Suroeste de Detroit (SWDRW) está de regreso por tercer año consecutivo! Esta celebración de la cocina latinoamericana es un evento de 10 días que incluye a más de 20 restaurantes con “raíces latinas”.

Como en las ocasiones anteriores, los restaurantes participantes ofrecerán un “plato tradicional” exclusivo que no esté en el menú y no estará disponible una vez que finalice el evento. Además, este año, el evento contará con un Food Truck Rally inaugural en Batch Brewing Company.

El objetivo principal de SWDRW es invitar e informar a las personas sobre la cultura y el patrimonio latinoamericano, específicamente en Detroit, mientras aumenta el tráfico peatonal a través del encuentro. Cada una de las recetas de los restaurantes ejemplificará una forma de la autenticidad de sus raíces, muchos de estos platos no han sido probados antes por los clientes.

El evento de 10 días de este año comienza el viernes 30 de septiembre y concluirá el domingo 9 de octubre. Una lista de los restaurantes participantes estará disponible en swdetroitrestaurantweek.com a principios de septiembre.

El Food Truck Rally tendrá lugar el lunes 10 de octubre, entre las 4 y las 10 p. m. en Batch Brewing Company, ubicada en 1400 Porter St, Detroit, MI 48216.

Los organizadores de SWDRW están dedicando el evento de este año a Mónica Echeverri Casarez, cofundadora original del evento. Ella fue una parte integral de su creación y una persona influyente y apasionada que se dedicó a mejorar el mundo antes de dejarlo. Fue una feroz defensora cuya pasión y tenacidad continúan resonando dentro de la comunidad. Con el fallecimiento de la Sra. Casarez debido al COVID-19, Juan Carlos Dueweke-Pérez junto con otras personas asumieron la tarea de continuar con el legado que ella inició.

El SWDRW de este año no sería posible sin el liderazgo de Juan Carlos Dueweke-Perez de Featherstone, Leslie Vargas de La Jalisciense, Jorge Casarez (esposo de la difunta Mónica Casarez, cofundadora original del evento), Mayte Penman de TechTown Detroit, Shaffwan Ahmed, la chef Ederique Goudia de Gabriel Hall, la chef Amanda Saab y Fatou-Seydi Sarr de la Oficina Africana de Inmigración y Asuntos Sociales.

Para obtener más información, incluida la participación en este evento como voluntario, siga la página de Instagram y Facebook del evento. Traducción por Carmen Elena Luna.
