An interview series on the food, family, and fare of Upper Peninsula farmers, foodies, and chefs.

Food is deeply personal and wonderfully complex. Technique transcends generations, flavor invents memory, and careful tending is met with thoughtful preparation.

Currently, a fresh, local food movement is happening in the Upper Peninsula. Farmers, foodies, and chefs are connecting with their community through their agricultural and culinary works. Every unique palette and flavor, is a chance to experience a new dimension of food. Beyond every bite is a whole story — and a person — worth celebrating. 

The Dish explores what informs and inspires our local farmers, foodies, and chefs, tracing how this magical moment in food came to be. Join us as we discover the diverse experiences, passions, and dreams that contribute to our flourishing local food scene. We ask tailored questions and edit minimally to realize the raw, wonderfully unique character of each interviewee.
