Hi all, Chef Suzy here. I'm feeling blessed and grateful. Enjoy Jackie's smile as we hit up Ann Arbor to celebrate Aquarius season.

There has been a lot of talk about DEI initiatives lately, and as put it, they are a gift.

Diversity is so important, and it works in all directions. At Chive I have seen people from very different backgrounds become the best of friends. Diversity brings knowledge and outside of the box thinking.

My parents were immigrants who came to the US legally. I will tell you - although here legally, they were treated poorly, taken advantage of, and ridiculed. My mom would come home crying...often.

Humans judge so let's not pretend that they don't. Human nature. Some humans are empathetic and helpful and others are mean hearted bullies.

Regulations are put in place by our free government to assure that a person has the right to earn money, survive, eat, pay for housing, take care of their family, pay taxes, etc.

With programs like DEI we are giving everyone despite of race, skin color, sexual orientation, religion or politics a chance. An inclusion. A place to try. A possibility. A future.

As an immigrants daughter, my teenage goal was to be an administrative assistant. That was top level for me because I wasn't aware of possibilities. I didn't know I could do more -- until people allowed doors to open for me. I showed up. I would never take that away from anyone. I will always pay it forward.

Although no longer a restaurant constantly hiring, we look at every label and every website to see what a company is about before we buy from them. We try to shop local when we can and we want to send our dollars to other businesses that are inclusive.

As a business owner I have always taken "everyone has a right to work" seriously. Everyone.

At Chive you will always be accepted by me, my family and my colleagues. Black. White. Brown. Gay. Trans. Christian. Atheist. Muslim. Jewish. Poor. Rich. I love all of you.

Our Groom Joe wanted a Smoky twist on an old fashioned in memory of a drink he had once enjoyed.

The idea too is as ice melts the cocktail continues to be enjoyable and refreshing.

We created a smoked maple syrup with molasses and Walnut Bitters for a quick pickup during cocktail hour.

Fresh orange slices added a nice Citrus infusion to the cocktail.

Our elevated Bar service allows clients to offer a festive and original bar service for their guests.

The holidays were very nice, another year, new goals, promises of promise and spring always provides hope.

New blooms, pastels, birds chirping, honey scented wind, blue skies.

Looking forward to fresh basil in abundance.

In the meantime winter is for hunkering down and planning, dreaming, and organizing with a boost of hope in the spring.

Hello DHD family 👋🏼

Today, we honor the incredible legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; a visionary who transformed the world with his courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to justice that he understood could only be achieved through dismantling capitalism.

Dr. King’s dream of equity continues to reverberate throughout our lives and moves us to take action in order to create meaningful change.

Here at DHD, we celebrate his legacy of liberatory ideology, community building, and radical love that is at the heart of Dr. King’s work and vision.

Let’s reflect, recommit, and carry his legacy forward.

This wedding tasting was looking so fresh. I made myself an extra Michigan Salad and it was delish.

Shopping in restaurant supply stores and reading posts from the community I'm always taken back by products used. I love to cook and part of that is creating my own sauces. At Chive, through the years we developed our own seasoning blends and boullion.

I saw a posting for this product today and thought eeew lol. I make my own demi. Cooking from scratch you get real and gentle flavor, you digest food easier, you consume less sodium and you control what goes in your body.

My intention is not shade but a realization that American diets are drowning in processed foods and restaurant experiences are a cocktail of processed foods.

Chive is able to cater to allergen friendly events, hybrid events and specialize in vegan cuisine because we make it from scratch. We control the ingredients, we find alternatives.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Thanksgiving. Count your blessings, find your perspective and most importantly - spend time with people you love and that love you back!

Our dinners rolls with an herb butter are saying eat me...eat me!

Wishing you lots of carbs!

Happy Holidays. I love it. Cold crisp air, food, desserts, late nights, lights, sparkle, Mariah Carey and the scent of pine.

"All I can say is, WOW! Suzy and her team were an excellent addition to our wedding weekend. She assisted in the running of our rehearsal and ceremony. Day of our wedding she assisted with setup and teardown, the movement of decor, and just making sure we were taken care of. She was an asset in making our wedding day stress free!"

Always a pleasure.
