Originally reported by DBusiness, Greenfield Village in Dearborn will reveal its latest restaurant concept on May 1. The new concept, Stand 44, pays tribute to the stall where celebrated local huckster Mary Judge sold her goods in Detroit Central Market back in the day and is tailored to resonate with Henry Ford’s Edible Education programs.
The restaurant will have multiple stations offering different food options, including pizza, sandwiches, and salads using locally and regionally sourced ingredients. The restaurant will also have a roster of guest chefs who will bring their personal touch to the menu.
“At Stand 44, we’ll dedicate ourselves to preparing delicious food made from scratch by imaginative chefs and featuring seasonal ingredients — all in a welcoming environment that minimizes waste and uses resources responsibly,” the restaurant says on its website.
The restaurant will put sustainability at its core. For example, all waste produced by the restaurant will be composed and used in Greenfield Village’s historic farms and gardens. “Stand 44 will showcase our sustainable food practices at every level, from the dishes and the dining experience to the behind-the-scenes practices we use, and the materials and systems that are a part of the LEED-certified building itself,” described the restaurant’s website.
