This year's Traverse Epicurean Classic will include 10 Great Chef Dinners at Traverse City's best restaurants, and an international wine importer will be matched with each restaurant to select a complementary wine list. With all the dinners scheduled for Friday, September 12, it's too bad you have to pick just one. Check out the schedule to narrow down your choice.

Plugging a locavore lifestyle
Just came across this great article by Nancy Krcek Allen in the Record-Eagle, titled Make a 'Locavore's Holiday': buy local.
"I woke to the knowledge that my chef colleagues and I are merely window dressing. It's the farmers and growers who should be lauded superstars with their own television shows," writes Allen, who's been a chef and culinary educator for 16 years. "But farming isn't sexy. This holiday season I cast my food dollar vote with my neighbor-growers."
The Rustic Gourmet: Earthy Elegance from the Woods of Northern Michigan - A Book Review

Maggie Long - A Meal Inspired by the Garden’s Bounty
Maggie Long, group chef for Mission Management, presented this delicious menu to a full house at the Epicurean Classic Friday afternoon. Her career includes cooking for such fine restaurants as Stafford's Bay View Inn and The Moveable Feast in Ann Arbor. Notice all of the ingredients used that you can get right from your own garden or CSA. The menu celebrates end-of-summer flavors, Maggie explained, and she grouped foods that she thought sounded good together. The recipes aren't available elsewhere, but she readily agreed to share them on Up North Foodies. Thanks Maggie!
