The culinary scene in Michigan is about to get a major boost, as local restaurateur David Ayyash is gearing up to open not one, but two brand-new restaurants! If you’re a foodie in the area, you’ll want to pay attention to these delicious developments.

La Pecora Nera Set to Delight in Birmingham

First up, let’s talk about the much-anticipated La Pecora Nera. This popular eatery, known for its scrumptious Italian-inspired menu, is making its way to Birmingham! Spearheaded by Ayyash, the stunning new location will occupy the charming space at 135 Pierce Street. Fans can expect to see doors swing open in early to mid-March 2025. That’s just around the corner!

This Birmingham spot will be about 1,000 square feet in size, filling in the space that was previously home to Planthropie. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or a sweet treat, La Pecora Nera has you covered. The restaurant will be serving up a menu bursting with over a dozen mouthwatering sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, refreshing salads, and delectable desserts. And here’s the kicker — all dressings are made in-house, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor from high-quality Italian meats and fresh veggies.

Introducing Spruce and Ash in Downtown Farmington

But wait, there’s more! Alongside La Pecora Nera, Ayyash is also working on a new concept that’s generating some serious buzz — the Spruce and Ash, which is going to be located in the heart of Downtown Farmington Center. This eatery is set to take over the former Chive Kitchen space and is expected to open its doors in late March or early April 2025.

At Spruce and Ash, diners can look forward to a delightful selection of American fare that promises to tantalize taste buds. This spot will primarily be catering to evening and dinner service, but brunch lovers can rejoice as plans are in the works to offer brunch on weekends too. It sounds like the perfect place to unwind with friends and enjoy a delicious meal!

Catch the Excitement at Chaos Burger!

If you’re feeling the burger cravings right now, you’re in luck! Ayyash has recently launched a carryout-focused restaurant called Chaos Burger, located on Clifford Street in downtown Detroit. This joint specializes in smash burgers, offering options in single, double, or triple sizes. You’ll also get to enjoy some creative and unique topping options that are sure to elevate your burger game. It’s all about grabbing something tasty on the go!

A Growing Legacy of Culinary Excellence

Ayyash is no stranger to success in the restaurant world. The original La Pecora Nera kicked off its journey in Detroit back in February 2017, followed by a second location in Farmington, which opened earlier this year in 2023. Now, with Birmingham and Farmington Center on the horizon, it’s clear that Ayyash is committed to expanding his culinary footprint across Michigan.

So whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, a charming dinner atmosphere, or a perfect burger, it’s safe to say that Michigan diners will have plenty to look forward to in the next year.
