The “Legends of the Stove” Gala was a historic gathering of iconic chefs, restauranteurs, and front-of-the-house legends from metro Detroit including Chef Milos, Chef “Duglass”, Chef Shawn Loving, Chef Ed Janos, Chef Jimmy Schmidt, Chef Michael Ransom, Chef Anthony Lombardo, Chef Luciano Del Signore, Chef Brian Polycn, Chef Greg Upshur, Master Sommelier Madeline Triffon, Adrian Lark, Joe Vicari, and more.  The event announced “Detroit-City of Chefs”, a documentary film to be released later this year on Detroit Public Television by Keith Famie, executive producer, chef, and his video production team. These featured chefs include James Beard Award winners, Michigan Master Chefs, Culinary Olympic Teams, and most importantly the humble, hardworking chefs and pastry chefs that make Detroit a great food city.

The “mock’ ravioli was made from paper thin slices of celery root to simulate the “pasta” , filled with chanterelles and hedgehog mushrooms, with Wagyu Beef Short Rib nugget, and topped with a salad of crispy celery root, parsnip, sage, rosemary, shallots, chives, and truffle oil scented Magenta Beet  micro greens. * Wagyu Short Ribs were made possible by Dearborn Brands.
