Enjoy an evening with one of Detroit's best, Chef Marc Djozlija. This package features an in-home dining experience for you and seven guests. The meal will consist of five courses, each with a wine pairing from Lassiter Family Winery. To be scheduled on a mutually determined date on a Monday - Friday, January - November in 2023.

After spending 17 years away from Detroit, Djozlija returned home to open the Wolfgang Puck Grille at MGM Grand Casino where he managed and developed menus for multiple outlets featuring casual and sophisticated fine dining at Wolfgang Puck Grille, Wolfgang Puck Cucina, and Wolfgang Puck Steak.

After being back in his hometown, Djozlija realized that the city was undergoing intense transformation and wanted to use his years of experience to contribute to the growth of Detroit. Joining forces with friend and business partner, Dave Kwiatkowski, the two developed a vision for a gathering place, a place to spend time before a game or for a night out with friends.

In July of 2014 Wright and Company was born. Drawing from his travels and versatile styles of cooking, Djozlija created an American contemporary small plates menu that utilizes seasonal ingredients, highlights quality techniques, and serves up innovative cuisine alongside some of the city's finest craft cocktails. After the success of Wright and Company, Djozlija and Kwiatkowski have continued to open innovative and unique properties in Detroit such as Café 78 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Peterboro in Detroit's historic Chinatown.

In the midst of Wright and Company's success, Djozlija was nominated for the "Best Chef- Great Lakes Region" James Beard award in 2015.

In his spare time Djozlija enjoys golfing and dedicates his time to fundraising efforts for Michigan Humane.
