Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Top 10 Takeover dinner series returns
After an exciting unveiling of the 2023 Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Restaurant of the Year and the revamped list of 10 Best New Restaurants and More, diners are now invited to experience food and drinks curated by the winners firsthand.
Beginning this Thursday, March 23, we kick off ticket sales for the Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Top 10 Takeover dinner and cocktail series.
For nearly a decade, the Free Press and Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers have maintained a charitable effort through the dinner series. Since 2014, the series has donated a portion of proceeds to Forgotten Harvest, raising more than $15,000 for the nonprofit, which aims to fight food insecurity in metro Detroit. The 2023 Top 10 Takeover series will continue the tradition, donating $3 of each ticket sold to the organization.
This year’s list included the addition of a Best New Pop-Up, an Emerging Chef and three new cocktails bars, each representing the breadth of excellence within metro Detroit’s dining and beverage scene. As such, the Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Top 10 Takeover series will follow suit with cocktail-forward experiences at some events and imaginative new settings for others.

Every other Thursday, Free Press subscribers will have first access to tickets for each event, with tickets for general admission hitting freep.com/top10 every other Friday. The Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers are also offering a contest for a chance for one diner to win two complimentary tickets each dinner of the series, beginning March 20.
The first dinner will be held April 11 at Employee Meal, which came in at No. 3 on this year’s list of 10 Best New Restaurants and More. Aptly named, the Mexican restaurant brings regional Mexican fare to Birmingham with a special twist: the essence of the place is inspired by each employee and dishes that best represent their culture.
To enter for a chance to win complimentary tickets to Employee Meal, visit chevydetroit.com/giveaways/top10, beginning March 20 through April 5.
