Detroit City of Chefs III Dinner
When filmmaker and chef Keith Famie called to share his vision for Detroit City of Chefs III, his excitement was contagious. This new chapter, he explained, would spotlight Michigan’s growing movement toward vegetarian and plant-based cuisine. Chef Jimmy Schmidt, renowned chef and three time James Beard Award recipient, was already on board, and Keith invited me to join in shaping the story. From the moment I heard it, I was genuinely excited — there was, without question, a story waiting to be told, one deeply rooted in Michigan’s soil and spirit.
