Detroit is Different Community Group Announces Return of the 3rd Annual Collard Green Cook-Off
2025-07-26 14:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Chandler Park, 12831 Frankfort St, Detroit
Detroit is Different Community Group announces the return of the 3rd Annual Collard Green Cook-Off, a soul-filled celebration of Black culinary heritage, taking place Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 2 – 6 p.m. at Chandler Park located at 12831 Frankfort St in Detroit.
This year’s theme, “Bridging Detroit through Culture and Cuisine,” highlights the city’s legacy of urban farming and soul food appreciation. The event unites chefs, growers, elders, and youth in a one-of-a-kind experience.
“This isn’t just about food,” says Khary Frazier, Founder, Detroit is Different. “This is about honoring legacy, building community, and reclaiming joy. Collard greens connect generations, neighborhoods, and histories. Through this event, we’re using food as a bridge.”
We are thrilled to bring the rich cultural experience of the Collard Green Cook-Off to the historic Chandler Park on Detroit’s Eastside. This year’s competition features an incredible lineup of Collard Green Chefs, including Harriette Brown, Kenyatta Brown, Josmine Evans, Lavon Jones, Ms. Kisha’s Kitchen, Chef MoeVito, and Trendy Celebrations. Supporting them are our dedicated Detroit-based Collard Green Growers: Latrina Conaway, Donald Jones, Mama Jerry, Willie Patmon, and Romondo Woods II. Adding to the excitement, this year’s judges include Orlando Bailey of Outlier Media, comedians Howie Bell and Coco, Ederique Goudia of In the Business of Food, and Mikiah Glynn of Brix Wine. The title of Collard Green Cook-Off Champion will be determined by a 50/50 vote split between the audience and our panel of judges, making community engagement central to the celebration.
Over 400 pounds of greens are sourced from five to seven Black urban growers, each paid $5 per pound. “Supporting Black farmers is crucial,” says Frazier. “We’re building wealth and visibility for the people growing our food right here in Detroit. It’s an economy of care and culture.”
The Cook-Off is a true intergenerational gathering. “Elders bring the soul food wisdom. Young chefs bring innovation. Together, they keep culture alive,” Frazier emphasizes. “This is how we pass on legacy—through flavor, memory, and love.”
Backed by sponsors including Chandler Park Conservancy, Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund, Neighborhood Vitality Index, SMART Transit. The Collard Green Cook-Off drawn 3,500+ attendees to date.

Part of the proceeds will be donated to the NYC Pride Association, Heritage of Pride.
