I was there to emcee a food and wine weekend at the Grand Hotel called “Cork and Fork.”
Even though I lived in Michigan for 5 years when I went to U of M, I never made it to Mackinac Island, a very beautiful small island on Lake Huron (no cars allowed). Finally I got to see the place while introducing and hanging out with all these chefs – four with restaurants from around the country and four from the Grand Hotel kitchen. The chefs, all women, originally came from: Iran, Oakland (parents from Hong Kong), Jamaica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Puerto Rico. Wow!! Such tasty food and such great conversations. It will happen again next year around this time. I highly recommend it.
