Cannon says he’s consulting with Joe Louis II on the project.
The restaurant will open to the public Friday, May 14 with brunch menu items seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Having my partner Joe Louis here today commemorating his dad in such a way for the city of Detroit is very special. We put a lot of heart and love into the food which is most important because we want to make sure everyone comes in and have a great meal, but even bringing great service and hospitality to the area is very important as well,” said Cannon.
Joe Louis Southern Kitchen is located at 6549 Woodward Avenue in Detroit.
