Michigan Countryside
moveable feast with fine cooking

On this episode of Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking, we are on the road with three top chefs from metropolitan Chicago and travel three hours into the neighboring Michigan countryside for the makings of a true midwestern meal. Cooking by the beautiful lakeside for a party are The Hearty Boys, Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh. Joining them is acclaimed pastry chef, Gale Gand. The entire meal is sourced within a radius of 5 miles from Buchanan, Michigan, including some gorgeous summer veggies, corn meal from the town's old mill, and beer from a local brewery. The menu includes Breakfast Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt; Kale Salad with Pickled Beets, Lardons, Blue Cheese, and Honey Clove Vinaigrette; Ramp-Stuffed Sirloin Roll with Hazelnuts and Michigan Cherry Sauce; and a Midwest favorite-Cornmeal Spaetzle with Charred Grape Tomatoes and Asparagus.
