Pete joins three top chefs from metropolitan Chicago—Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh, known as the Hearty Boys, and acclaimed pastry chef Gail Gand—and travels three hours into the neighboring Michigan countryside for this episode of Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking. The entire meal is sourced within a 5-mile radius of Buchanan, Michigan’s center, and includes some gorgeous summer veggies, cornmeal from the town’s old mill, and locally brewed beer. The pop-up feast takes place alongside a beautiful lake and features Kale Salad with Pickled Beets, Blue Cheese, and Honey Clove Vinaigrette; Stuffed Sirloin Roll with Michigan Cherries and Toasted Hazelnuts; and a Midwest favorite—Cornmeal Spaetzle with Charred Grape Tomatoes and Sugar Snap Peas. When food is sourced and served in this part of the country, it always promises to be a memorable meal.
