San Street Dinner: from cart to table

Friday, April 22nd, 2011
Tue May 24, 2011
7:00 pmto10:00 pm

Ji Hye Kim and Kristen Hogue Jackson are taking their esteemed memories of eating Asian street food off of their family dinner tables, and from street markets in Asia, and bringing it to the Midwest. Kim and Jackson created San Street, an aspiring new Zingerman’s business, which executes traditional Asian recipes with fresh, high quality ingredients- local whenever possible. The word “san” (pronounced sahn) comes the number three and is revered as one of the luckiest numbers in Asian culture, citing why some dishes, such as dim sum, are prepared in three’s.

Ji Hye and Kristen have reflected back on a recent trip to Asia and have created a menu traditional to Asia, but rarely prepared in Michigan. Guests will be served family-style, sitting together at communal tables and passing platters of pork buns, pickled vegetables, tea eggs and more. And there will be plenty of milk tea on hand to wash it down with.

This Dinner is SOLD OUT! Please call 734.663.3663 to be added to the waitlist.
