Former NBA All-Star and 55th mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson is ready to bring his Fixins Soul Kitchen restaurant chain to Detroit.

A grand opening celebration has been announced for 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 23, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Johnson and a number of Detroit dignitaries.

The chain also has locations in Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Tulsa, but Detroit’s is reportedly its largest.

According to a press release, “The Fixins menu is inspired by Kevin’s search for the best soul food restaurants in cities that he used to play basketball in and by his grandmother’s family recipes.”
