Having the title of Restaurant of The Year is something any local restaurant owner would be proud of, but to be crowned Restaurateur of The Year is next level. They have awarded Chef Maxcel Hardy, owner of Coop Detroit and Jeds Detroit, as the Restaurateur Of Year. Green says Chef Max deserves this award because he was able to overcome the challenges of year. He never shut down his existing restaurant, Coop, and was also able to open his new restaurant Jed’s. On top of that Chef Max launched a philanthropic effort, serving the community with 75,000 meals.
