A new restaurant is headed for the Hudson’s Detroit site , and acclaimed restaurateur and author Danny Meyer is behind it.

The restaurant marks the first Detroit project for Meyer, who established Union Square Hospitality Group in 1985 and later founded Shake Shack in the early 2000s.

A St. Louis native, Meyer is looking forward to bringing a new concept to the Midwest. “As a proud native Midwesterner, I couldn’t be more excited to plant our flag in Detroit,” he said in a news release. “Detroit is brimming with culture, creativity, and pride. Expanding here — and joining such a dynamic neighborhood — gives us the opportunity to grow and innovate alongside a city that’s constantly in motion.”
