“Our community is deeply saddened by the loss of Chef Max Hardy, a Detroit native who was a trailblazer in his advocacy to end hunger. Chef Max was the owner of Rosedale Park neighborhood restaurants River Bistro, COOP Caribbean Fusion inside the Detroit Shipping Company, and Jed's Detroit on Seven Mile Road. He founded the One Chef Can 86 Hunger Foundation, a nonprofit organization that fights against hunger and raises awareness about food insecurity. The New York Times named Hardy one of 16 Black Chefs Changing Food in America in 2021. Chef Max also cowrote ``The Marley Coffee Cookbook'' with Rohan Marley, Bob Marley's son, and was featured on the Food Network. He was a champion of aspiring young people in Detroit, teaching them the fundamentals of conscious cooking. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District, we send our love and condolences to Chef Max's two daughters and his family. He truly will be missed. Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries”
