german CUISINE

Welcome to DeutschTroit! A pop up restaurant project focused on bringing the flavors and recipes from regional Germany directly to you! DeutschTroit consists of hobby baker and entrepreneur Jana, an immigrant from Deutschland (Germany) and Shawn a seasoned Chef and food lover from Detroit – a match made in heaven! After a trip to Germany together in 2017 the decision was made – we have to bring German food to Metro Detroit and introduce people to these rich classic and contemporary flavors like Schnitzel and Currywurst. DeutschTroit was born! We work with old family recipes and the real (German) ingredients even if they are hard to find sometimes. But we want to have the most authentic taste possible! Danke!

Nora’s Famous

BRUNCH MON-FRI 9A-2P, SA-SU 10A-2P

Nora’s Famous is Mark Camaj’s upcoming project. It’s a nod to old school red sauce joints you’d find on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx N.Y. AKA the real Little Italy.

Mark Camaj is a first generation Albanian-American, born and raised on the Eastside (Hamtramck/Sterling Heights). He also lived in the Bronx (which he considers his second home) working for James Beard Award winning Chefs Andrew Carmellini and Marco Canora in NYC. He moved back to help his old high school friend Chef Anthony Lombardo formulate and launch Shewolf Pastificio, as the opening Chef De Cuisine. Under his helm, Shewolf earned Hour Magazine 2020 Restaurant of the Year honors, also garnering National press attention and accolades.

Italian-American food has always been a big part of his and his family’s life, and he looks forward to sharing his vision and love for it with you.
