Located in the 'Bakery Loft' above Mexicantown Bakery is the guerrilla dining event: Detroit Soup…read more(a monthly dinner that funds micro-grants for creative projects in Detroit). Here's how it works: 1. A group of volunteers organize the event and prepare the soups, salads, and dessert/s using local and seasonal ingredients. 2. Prospective micro-grant funding recipients send in their project proposals; if selected they will present their project at the soup dinner and explain how the funding will go to support their noteworthy cause. 3. Attendees of Detroit Soup pay $5 (at the door) to attend. 4. The money collected goes towards one of the projects presented. 5. Attendees and volunteers, alike, vote on which project they want the micro-funding to go towards. Besides being a great collaborative effort for the community, Detroit Soup is an awesome event because it seems so underground. Love it!!! Walking up the dark mysterious staircase to the Bakery Loft (where the soup is held) you're immediately surprised by the warm cozy dimly lit space. Candles adorn each table, bright florescent decorations hang from the ceiling, chatter fills the air, and the smells of slow cooked soups soon take hold. As for the seating situation, it fills up quickly as there are only 5 tables with chairs and another 10 tables with floor seating. Feel free to bring a pillow along for the floor seating...believe me you'll need it! Onto the food: at the last soup we were served two mixed green salads with a balsamic based dressing and the other with a kiwi lime dressing. Both were very good! The two soups (1.lentil and 2.fava bean) on the other hand, were a bit underwhelming. Not to say they weren't good, but they were just okay...a three star rating in my book of soups. Overall, Detroit Soup's mission/purpose, location, food, people (volunteers, presenters, attendees) is fantastic!
