As autumn places itself front and center with cooler weather and leaves falling, there is also a change in the things we tend to eat. We start to lean into heartier meals that embrace the flavors of the season and begin enjoying richer, fuller foods once again. Here in Metro Detroit, chefs at local restaurants are doing the exact same thing. They are updating their menus to reflect what’s readily available and using those items as the centerpiece of their dishes. If you’re in the mood for some delicious fall meals, check out these Metro Detroit restaurants using local autumn produce on their menus.
