IN FASHIONABLE FERNDALE.
>> Tati: IT'S A UNIQUELY DETROIT
GATHERING PLACE THAT'S LIKE
NOTHING IN THE D.
♪
>> FIRST OFF, YOU HAVE TO LOVE
WHAT YOU DO.
ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES, BE KIND,
EMPATHETIC.
THEY'RE COMING TO ENJOY THE
FOOD, ENJOY THE MUSIC, VIEW THE
ART, AND I JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE
GOOD SHEPHERD TO BRING IT
TOGETHER.
IT'S A PROJECT FOR FOUR OR FIVE
YEARS.
WE PURCHASED THE BUILDING,
NONDESCRIPT BUILDING.
IT HAD GREAT BONES.
MUSIC AND ART ARE SUPER
IMPORTANT.
WE HAD A LOT OF PHENOMENAL
ARTISTS THAT HELPED US PUT THIS
TOGETHER.
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME IS
SCULPTA
SCULPTURAL WALL.
AND THERE'S A MURAL, THE
OKLAHOMA WINGED ROOM.
HE SPENT A COUPLE MONTHS
CREATING AN HOMAGE TO DETROIT.
AND WE WORKED WITH MALT, HE DID
THE OKLAHOMAS IN THE LOBBY AND
DONE THA AROUND DETROIT.
IT'S FRENCH NEW ORLEANS KIND OF
VIBE AND A MUSIC AND CULTURAL
PERSPECTIVE.
♪♪
THE CONCEPT IS KIND OF BORN OUT
OF WHAT KIND OF INSPIRATION
COULD WE GET FROM THE GREAT
LAKES REGION AND DETROIT.
THE O SIGNIFIED WHERE HE COULD
FLY.
♪♪
WE STARTED LOOKING UP WHAT THE
SPECIES OF THE DIFFERENT OWLS
WERE, THE GREAT HORNED OWL, THE
BLACK OWL, AND FOU OTUS.
AND GOOD TIMES, GOOD LAUGH, GOOD
CHEER.
AND AT TIMES IT'S MYSTERIOUS.
OTUS SUPPLY IS HERE.
BREAK BREAD, LISTEN TO GOOD
MUSIC, LAUGH WITH FRIENDS AND
THAT'S WHERE THIS PLACE WAS BORN
FROM.
WE TOOK GREAT IDEAS AND MARRIED
THEM AND IT WAS A COLLABORATIVE
EXPERIENCE AND THAT'S WHAT WE
KIND OF WANTED TO LIVE ON IS
THAT VILLAGE EXPERIENC
I PERSONALLY THINK WE COULD USE
MORE OF THAT IN TODAY'S SOCIETY
THAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THEIR
NEIGHBORS, HANG OUT AND BE KIND.
THERE'S ZERO PRETENSION AND WE
WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, EAT
GOOD FOOD, AND DANCE
>> Jason: NO PRETENSION, JUST
HANG OUT, EAT FOOD, AND BE KIND.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD WAY TO LIVE.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE PIECE?
>> VERY GOOD.
>> Jason: ALEX ATWELL CAPTURING
THE SPIRIT PLACE.
TELL US ABOUT THE MENU, ONE OF
DETROIT'S TEN BEST RESTAURANTS.
>> WE'RE HUMBLED, OPEN ONLY 35
DAYS, SO IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE
YESTERDAY.
SO THANKS TO ALL THE FOLKS AT
THE FREE PRESS.
THE MENU, WE DREW INSPIRATION OF
THE FOLKS THAT MIGRATED TO
MICHIGAN OVER THE LAST COUPLE
HUNDRED YEARS AND LOOKED AT HOW
THEY AFFECTED THE SOCIOECONOMIC
AND FOOD CULTURE AND DREW
INSPIRATION FROM THOSE FOLKS AND
THEN CHEF MYLES McVEIGH TOOK
THAT AND THREW IT IN THE BLENDER
AND ADDED HIS CHEFLY WAYS AND
CAME UP WITH HIS OWN VIBE.
HE'S WORKED HARD ON THE OLD
WORLD BREAD PROGRAM AND
EVERYTHING IN OUR KITCHEN IS
FROM SCRATCH.
I DON'T THINK -- THERE MAY BE
ONE CANNED PRODUCT IN THE ENTIRE
HOUSE.
THE CHEFS DO A PHENOMENAL JOB,
IN THERE WORKING HARD EVERY DAY.
>> Jason: I FELL LIKE CHEFLY
WAYS IS A CHARACTER.
PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR
CHEFLY WAYS!
IT MAKES YOU WANT TO GO THERE
RIGHT NOW.
>> WE WORKED WITH AN AMAZING
GROUP OF ARTISTS.
WE LOO AT IT LIKE A VILLAGE.
WE'RE BRINGING IN GREAT FOLKS TO
CREATE A PLACE THAT WAS UNIQUE,
EMBRACED ALL OF THE ART AND
PERSONALITIES THAT WE'VE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH.
BOTH HE AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE
CONCERT BUSINESS, CLUB BUSINESS,
RESTAURANT BUSINESS AND HAD A
GOOD FORTUNE TO COME ACROSS A
LOT OF UNIQUE, TALENTED FOLKS,
AND WE TRIED TO BRING IT
TOGETHER IN ONE HOUSE AND
REUNITE ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
>> Jason: MUSIC FIVE NIGHTS A
WEEK, THAT'S AMBITIOUS!
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE'RE BRINGING BANDS, NATIONAL
ACTS, TRYING TO KEEP A GOOD VIBE
IN THE PARLIAMENT ROOM, MOSTLY
AMERICANA JAM AND GOOD MUSIC.
THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS BEHIND US,
GOOD STUFF.
WE'RE TRYING TO PUT IN GOOD FOOD
AND BRING DINNER BACK TO THE
TABLE
SO YOU'RE HANGING OUT ENJOYING
THE COMPANY YOU'RE WITH AND NOT
WORRYING ABOUT WHAT'S OUTSIDE.
>> THEY SHOWED UP 10 MINUTES
BEFORE THE SHOW, KICKED OPEN THE
BACK DOOR, JUMPED ON STAGE AND
BLEW THE HOUSE OUT!
>> Jason: AND THERE'S A BENEFIT
CONCERT?
>> THERE IS.
THE LOVE HOPE STRENGTH
FOUNDATION HAS BEEN WORKING TO
SAVE LIVES ONE CONCERT AT A TIME
AND WORKED WITH OUR CONCEPT AND
OUR MUSIC AND HEART AND GREAT
FOOD AND WORKED WITH OUR
CULTURE.
SO WE HAD MUFBL FRIENDS THAT HAD
CONNECTIONS THERE AS WE WERE
SEARCHING OUT CHARITIES AND WAYS
TO GIVE BACK.
WE LIKE TO PROVIDE SMILES ONE
CONCERT AT A TIME AND NOW SAVING
LIVES WITH THEM ONE CONCERT AT A
TIME.
