Kid Rock opening Nashville restaurant, takes jab at some old foes back in Detroit
Five years after the closure of his Detroit eatery, Kid Rock is expanding his restaurant business — and with a chip on his shoulder. The Michigan-born rap-rocker has announced the Detroit Cowboy, a Nashville fine-dining establishment serving steaks and seafood. The restaurant will open May 5 in Music City's downtown district. The Detroit Cowboy is a partnership between Rock and Joe Muer Seafood, the iconic Detroit brand absorbed in 2011 by Joe Vicari Restaurant Group. The new establishment will take over the site of Joe Muer's Nashville location, which opened in 2017. 'Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated,' reads the restaurant's website tagline. It restates a phrase Kid Rock used during a testy response in December 2019, when Ilitch Holdings announced the end of its licensing deal for Rock's Made in Detroit restaurant at Little Caesars Arena. For two years, the LCA diner had been subject to protests by Al Sharpton's National Action Network, which redoubled its efforts following the musician's onstage tirade against Oprah Winfrey. Rock alluded to that 2019 situation in a Tuesday social media post: 'A small group of very bad people thought they cancelled me and my restaurant in Detroit in 2020,' he wrote. 'All you dumb****s did was hurt the city I LOVE.' The Detroit Cowboy is the second Nashville establishment for Kid Rock, who has lived primarily in Tennessee for more than a decade: His music club-restaurant, Big Ass Honky Tonk & Steakhouse, opened in 2018.
