The popular chicken and waffles recipe returns to Detroit next month
More than a year after closing its doors, the successor to New Center Eatery is preparing to open its doors on Woodward Avenue. In posts to social media on Tuesday, the restaurant called Joe Louis Southern Kitchen confirmed that it would be opening in April with New Center Eatery’s signature chicken and waffles.
New Center Eatery quietly closed its doors in December of 2018, a little more than a year after receiving a $25,000 Motor City Match grant to relocate to 6549 Woodward Ave. The restaurant known for serving 11 different styles of chicken and waffles, had resided in a space just a few blocks away since 2003. Owner Johnny Cannon, who also operates Sweet Magnolia’s in Southfield, chalked up the move to “uncontrollable circumstances,” in a release shared by Motor City Match.
The new location is tucked in next to home goods store Urbanum. It’s among a growing list of restaurants and retailers opening along both sides of that section of Woodward including Yum Village, the Kitchen by Cooking With Que, and forthcoming East African restaurant Baobab Fare. The owners of Selden Standard and Supino Pizzeria also have projects in the works on the block.
Eater has reached out to the restaurant for more details and did not receive a response at the time of publication but will update this post if we hear back.
