Charlie Mitchell is redefining Saga's dining experience after taking over in 2024. He wants to honor the legacy of former chef Jamal James Kent while also introducing his culinary vision. Mitchell added his first dish after months of adjustments, inspired by his Detroit upbringing. The fall menu will feature Thanksgiving-themed dishes, moving away from Kent's emphasis on shared plates. The dining room is being remodeled to complement this new direction, with updated decor and serviceware reflecting Mitchell's personal style and culinary goals.
Mitchell has embraced his new role at Saga while incorporating elements of his culinary past, such as a dish reflecting his childhood experiences growing up in Detroit.
The upcoming fall menu takes inspiration from Thanksgiving, featuring dishes like beet tart with cranberry sauce and yellow grits with butter and hot sauce.
Charlie Mitchell is focused on controlling every bite served to diners, moving away from larger shared presentations that were previously popular.
The renovations at Saga include new serviceware and a refreshed dining room that aligns with the evolving vision under Mitchell's leadership.
