On Thursday, October 23, 2025, the Leelanau Peninsula will set the stage for an extraordinary Fall Harvest Dinner featuring some of Michigan’s most celebrated chefs. 

The evening is presented by Chef Keith Famie, who plans to film it for his forthcoming Detroit: The City of Chefs III, part of his Detroit PBS documentary series spotlighting Michigan’s culinary heritage.

For this third installment, Famie focuses on vegetarianism, farm-to-table dining, and the powerful role of Michigan’s agricultural community. Notable chefs will partner with local farms to create a multi-course, wine-paired meal that tells a story from seed to plate. 

In addition to showcasing Michigan’s rich food culture, the Fall Harvest Dinner supports three vital local organizations—Project Feed the Kids, 5Loaves2FishNMI and Leelanau Christian Neighbors. Each of these addresses food insecurity in the region. 

Seats at the table are available. The event runs 6:30-9 p.m. at Black Star Farms, 10844 E. Revold Road in Suttons Bay, Mich. Book reservations at blackstarfarms.com/Detroit-Chefs-Harvest-Dinner.

Famie and his team will capture all the participating chefs in action both in the kitchen and in the fields, weaving their stories into a film set to release in Fall 2026. Learn more at www.detroitcityofchefs.com.
