A Look at Detroit's Food Scene with Jewell Dziendziel

Published on: 3rd September, 2021

We discuss Jewell's passion for food, eating out, "big flavours", her love of Thai food and her deep passion for the food scene in Detroit. 

Additionally, we discuss the influence of a Polish upbringing on food and eating especially the social element. We can dive pretty deep into the world of a classic Polish food Pierogi and of a typical mid-western US ice cream known as "Superman ice cream". We also talk about her first foray into European travel and her trip with a friend to the Balkans".

About the Podcast

Detroit From Across The Pond
A British view on how inspirational people in Detroit have developed projects which benefit their community.
Detroit is a city which has faced many challenges in its lifetime. Yet it has a rich and varied history including music, architecture and car manufacturing. However, it has also experienced industrial decline, environmental issues and profound racial inequality.

This show takes a look at projects which are supporting and improving the lives of the people of Detroit and the inspiring people who drive these projects forward. Yet those people are human too and I am interested in how they have overcome personal challenges which have allowed them to keep going. What have they drawn on? Family? Faith? Community? Specific practices which have helped them?

This is all done from my view in Britain 3500 miles but with my interest in this extraordinary and endlessly fascinating city.
