One of Cabrera's favorite Detroit restaurants to host "Miggy-themed" pop up near ballpark

One of Miguel Cabrera’s favorite local restaurants is getting in the spotlight this season as a Miggy-themed pop-up restaurant in the District Detroit.

Detroit’s El Rey de las Arepas will serve food at a pop-up experience on select days this month at 44 W. Columbia in Detroit, across from Comerica Park.

Tigers' Miguel Cabrera reacts as his name is called to be honored before the game. Cabrera was honored in what will be his last game played in Chicago before his retirement at the end of this season.

The Venezuelan restaurant is a popular spot in southwest Detroit for arepas, which are flat, round bread made of corn that is stuffed with meat, cheese and other fillings.

The pop ups will have Cabrera-themed décor, music and outdoor seating. Guests can get a sampler ticket for $15, redeemable for a mini arepa, a mini cheesy cachapa, three fried plantains and an 8-ounce passion fruit juice.
