Video SELMA Breakfast Salon
Every Friday morning something unique and wonderful happens in Ann Arbor’s Eberwhite neighborhood. For four hours guest chefs, using local in-season ingredients, make breakfast for, well, locals. And then, like a Brigadoon for omelets, poof! it’s gone. Don’t you wish your neighborhood had something this cool?
It’s starts at 6:30 AM Friday morning and four hours later it’s gone. Ann Arbor’s Selma Cafe (recently dubbed a “Breakfast Salon”) is like a weekly version of Brigadoon. Only instead of music and dancing there are waffles and quiche.
Staffed by volunteers, guest chefs make breakfast for locals with locally grown ingredients. The food is delicious, the donations go to support local growers and the friendly atmosphere simply can’t be beat.
The Selma Breakfast Salon is exactly the kind of place Concentrate loves to write about (or, in this case, film), building a local sense of place that is both innovative and unique. But Selma is more than just tasty omlettes with locals, it’s part of a neighborhood effort to build a stronger more interactive community, offering a food share and tool share program, as well as publishing the Selma Courier, written by local kids.
