Podcasts about yum village

Restaurants often struggle in their first three years, but Yum Village, a fusion of African and Caribbean cuisine founded by Godwin Ihentuge, opened its doors on Woodward Avenue during the challenges of COVID-19. This venture was the realization of Godwin's life vision, rooted in his upbringing on Detroit's Westside as the eldest son in a Nigerian family. Once an introvert, Godwin developed a skill set in empathetic listening that has been key to building a strong team. Yum Village, which began as a smartphone app, has evolved into a full cultural experience, blending food with fashion and more. This Detroit is Different feature explores how defining and committing to a vision can lead to extraordinary growth. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Carasai Ihentuge has opened Yum Village to bring the flavors and foods of his homeland to us. An Afro-Caribbean fusion restaurant, Yum Village blends West African foods, particularly from Nigeria, with favorites from the Caribbean. Carasai attended John Carroll University and is attracted to the vibrant environment of college towns, so an opportunity to open a restaurant on the diverse campus of CSU was appealing. His brother is a chef in Detroit, his hometown, where the original concept was launched. Yum Village makes ordering easy - think a "Chipotle-style" bowl meal but with oxtail, curry goat, plantains and jollof rice. There's plenty for vegetarians too, and everything is non GMO, and all meat is halal-certified. It's mostly healthy, spicy and flavorful, and REALLY filling—especially if you order the fufu. (You'll have to listen!).

The Replay hot boys sit down with friend and neighbor,  Chef Godwin of afro-Caribbean restaurant, Yum Village. We talk misadventures in rpg game design, Godwins days on the WSU football team and why we trust Jeff Bezos as far as we can throw him.  Check out Yum Village here

Craig speaks with two restauranteurs, Stephanie Byrd of The Block in Midtown Detroit, and Godwin Ihentuge of Yum Village in Detroit's New Center neighborhood.   The two discuss the difficulties of the past year, as restaurants were uniquely hard hit during the pandemic.  Now, it looks like most of the restrictions on indoor dining could be removed by July first.  What did they learn about their businesses over the last year, and how are they preparing for the return of customers?  Also, which practices from the COVID protocols might stick around for good?  

Welp. Operation LeGend, the Trump administration’s name for sending federal troops to cities to impose law and order that aren’t asking for any help, will come to Detroit after all. Sometime in the next three weeks, the latest news has it, heavily armed, camouflaged federal troops will descend on the Motor City. Recall that yesterday, Mayor Mike Duggan and Police Chief James Craig said basically, “Yeah, no thanks, we got this.” Should be fun. On today’s show, we follow a 2-minute speed round type of format, covering the decision of Warren police to reverse its own earlier decision and arrest the driver of that Amazon delivery van who parked on the wrong side of the street, and who was black. This as the city’s police commissioner decries that “crime is out of control,” after a shooting at a large gathering in Warren, though he also said crime wasn’t that bad in the inner-ring ‘burb. Got that? Also: Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland is expected to plead guilty to corruption charges, per the Freep. That would require him to abandon his seat. Detroit Public Schools Community District Superintendent Nikolai Vitti opines about the Legislature forcing schools’ hands on whether to open up classrooms during the coronavirus. TCF Bank announces a $1 billion round of loans to women- and minority-owned businesses, plus $10 million in grants for home buyers in low- and medium-income neighborhoods. Hamtramck is opening up their sidewalks for socially distant retail And there are a bunch of food openings you should know about. Slyde is doing a pop-up this weekend in West Village (more here on Eater Detroit) and make sure to give Godwin Ihentuge some love at Yum Village. He’s been a friend of the show and been going through some tough stuff.

Episode 95...and on our fifth episode from the new studio, we had a pretty packed room with guests covering all sorts of topics.  Open data in the city of Detroit and an upcoming hackathon to find better ways to use it.  Updates from our friends at Detroit Beer Press about their latest issue.  A check in nearly two years later with Batch Brewing Company on how things are going downtown.  A look at the state of the Detroit tech scene from the eyes of someone still in school and breaking into the industry. Don't forget you can get 10% off Squarespace's offerings by using discount code IT during the checkout process: http://www.squarespace.com/, and you can try QuickBooks for self-employed tryselfemployed.com/it And so, so much more... After our 1995 themed intro came to a close, our opening segment kicked off with a recap of our last event and information about our upcoming events, the depressing information that both The Goonies and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are now both thirty years old, the hilarious (to us) story about a member of ISIS posting a selfie that led to an airstrike less than 24 hours later, a very concerning tale about how the Red Cross spent over $500 million in Haiti after the terrible earthquakes there...and yet somehow managed to only build six houses, Gamestop's purchase of ThinkGeek's parent company, our lovely new kegerator stocked with the Scurvy Dan Blood Orange IPA from Falling Down Beer Company and more. In our second segment, we dove in with our guests David Lingholm, the Director of Digital Media and Community Engagement for the City of Detroit, and Erin Sommerville, Media Relations Specialist for Automation Alley.  There's a hackathon coming up this weekend, #Hack4Detroit, that's looking to find some better uses for the massive amounts of data that the city has accumulated over the years, and there's some decent prize money for those who can help.  Designers, coders, and even just folks with ideas are welcome...but the signup cutoff is Wednesday, so hurry: http://www.automationalley.com/Events/Calendar/Event-Detail.aspx?uniqueid=16840 In segment three, we checked in with our friends Courtney Ochab, Ian Burk and Tony Barchok from Detroit Beer Press and Stephen Roginson of Batch Brewing Company.  Batch Brewing was on waaaaaaaaay back in episode 10 of our show when they were a finalist (and eventual winner!) of the Hatch Detroit competition in 2013, and they've come a long way since then.  Not only are they open, but they're in full swing with production of a number of great beers, have a solid kitchen, and have a monthly "feel good tap" where a portion of the proceeds go to a local organization.  Can't beat that. Detroit Beer Press isn't doing to shabby either, with their latest issue in breweries, distilleries and locations throughout the area...which hypothetically might include another IT in the D style rant.  Updates about their Howler Club Membership program and more await your ears. In our fourth and final segment (no, still no infamous fifth segments in the new studio as of yet), we talked with Kevin Hill, a local guy still in college at RIT, and working his way into the Detroit tech scene.  We met Kevin at our Hopcat event back in May, and absolutely had to have him join us in-studio to continue that conversation on air.  He's got some great perspectives on how things look from his point of view - what he sees going well, going wrong, what works, what doesn't, and just a great take on things in general. And that brought us to a close.  Tune in next week as we're joined by Right Brain Networks to talk about DevOps among other topics, Make Moore Media to talk film and production, and Yum Village to talk about their group's organization and event.
