Bio
Joe Hakim
The work Chef Benjamin is doing at Iridescence is stunning. Dishes are thoughtful and whimsical. Although he takes food very seriously, there is a fun side to every dish. There is also a historical component. Each course ends up being a lesson on flavor combinations and regional cuisine. It's quite a fascinating experience.
John Cortez
Chef Benjamin runs probably one of the finest Resturants in the state of Michigan, on the top of Motorcity Casino Hotel. He also has a heart, while we work together on projects to help the people of the City of Detroit, as a part of "Helping Hands" of MCCH. The Homeless, Children, Seniors, and people who are trying to get their lives back together. It is a pleasure working with him and his expertise does help very much. God Bless Him!
