Detroit Pepper Company’s healthy menu, an eastside carryout restaurant specializing in smoothies and bell pepper-based dishes established in 2019, features stuffed peppers, salads, soups and smoothies for both vegans and carnivores.

            Chef Marlin Hughes says, “Growing up, stuffed bell peppers were a staple at the family dinner table, so I’m always reminded of my childhood when I occasionally see them on menus around town. Mom would simmer the massive, green vegetables in an electric frying pan after packing them with seasoned ground beef, stretched with a little white rice and smothered in a shiny and fragrant tomato sauce.” With options for stuffing and melted cheese toppings, the customizable dish travels well in eco-friendly containers; he makes stuffed jalapeño, too.

            “It’s invigorating to be one of many entrepreneurs taking part in restoring East Warren into the thriving, walkable business district it once was and improving the quality of life for its residents,” says Hughes. “Our food will draw people who live and work in this neighborhood, but also from nearby communities and beyond.”
