What’s good, Detroit? It’s your guy Tune-Up Man, back in the city with another flavor-packed edition of At the Table, powered by that one and only real pop — Faygo! And this time, we’re keepin’ it 100 in Northwest Detroit, just off Six Mile and the Southfield Freeway, at a spot you need in your life — The Pasta Bowl.
🧑🍳 Chef Musheya Glenn – 10 Years of Sauce, Soul & Success
Let me introduce y’all to the boss lady, Musheya Glenn. She’s been running Pasta Bowl since 2015 — that’s nearly a decade of scratch-made sauces, fire bowls, and straight-up Detroit love.
“Tune-Up been supporting me since before I had a brick and mortar,” Musheya said. Real recognize real.
🔥 Custom Cajun Alfredo with All the Heat
She made me a bowl built just for me. Creamy Cajun Alfredo, packed with chicken, salmon, AND shrimp — protein heavy like I like it. And you can choose your pasta too — linguine, cavatappi, fettuccine, and more on the way.
Let me tell you, the salmon had that kick. A little spice, a little sweet. Just how I like it.
🍤 New Favorites: Salmon Bites & Lamb Chops
You gotta check the fried salmon bite bowl drizzled in house-made bourbon sauce. Got that Asian feel — but Detroit flavor all day.
And don’t forget the lamb chops — real lamb, not sheep, topped over veggie fried rice. That’s an OG dish on the menu from day one.
“We put the lollipop lamb chops on 10 years ago — they still go crazy!”
🍲 Gumbo That’ll Warm Your Soul
Rico, the in-house creative, brought the 🔥 with their chicken gumbo — packed with noodles, sausage, okra, jalapeños, and more. They ain’t tellin’ you everything that’s in it, but trust — it’s everything.
“Gumbo is a mixture of everything — and it fills you up,” Musheya said.
