Program Recommendation: Que the Kitchen
by Latonia Phillips 04 May '23

04 May '23

The Bloomfield Township Public Library hosted Quiana "Que" Broden, owner and chef of Que the Kitchen, back in February for a cooking demonstration. Que the Kitchen is a demonstration restaurant located in Detroit. Chef Que talked about becoming a vegan, healthy eating and opening her restaurant -- all while preparing chili and cornbread. She offered our patrons vegan chicken or real chicken to go with the chili. The people who attended really liked Que's presentation. She had a lot of energy, was very charming and passionate. Her entire presentation (including preparation, cooking and serving) took an hour and she answered questions throughout. I highly recommend her. Please contact her PR rep Bee Brown at bee(a)thebeeagency.com<mailto:bee@thebeeagency.com> if you have questions or would like more information.
