The Roadhouse has long had a passion for teaching young students about farming, gardening and knowing where their food comes from. It is our honor to be a part of the Dexter High School Garden Project, whose mission it is to provide DHS students with a connection to healthy food, food self-reliance, career pathways and to each other and to celebrate our Dexter agricultural heritage. It will be a lasting tribute to Kevin Sullivan: DHS dad, gardener, food-lover and friend.

The garden will be adjacent to both the school greenhouse and the foods lab, and will make the connection between the two–helping students to better understand where food originates and how it nourishes them. Produce from the garden will be used in cooking classes and for donation to the community. The garden will include beds for growing produce, a seating area, and will ultimately include a hoophouse, meditation area, permaculture area with trees, student-engineered irrigation system, and an art installation.

Chef Alex Young, a DHS dad himself, and a group of passionate, young DHS students, have created a menu showcasing local farms and foods. We hope you join us for a great dinner with a great cause.

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.
