Detroit: The City of Chefs

Detroit’s culinary heritage is as important to our city’s story as the automobile. Even during economic downturns, legendary dining spots like the Detroit Athletic Club, the Pontchartrain Hotel, Joe Muer’s, Mario’s and the London Chophouse were setting standards of excellence for cuisine and service across the world’s stage.

Young chefs who wanted to join back-house teams had to have a skill set that kept up with the demands of impeccable kitchens. Each raised the bar for food interpretation with a unique style, invaluable advice, brand recognition and the sheer power of personality to enhance a guest’s restaurant experience.

Detroit: The City of Chefs, a film by Visionalist Entertainment Productions, will tell the unfiltered story Detroit’s culinary heritage. Expect to laugh, be inspired, reminisce, and possibly tear up as you join us as we celebrate Detroit’s chefs community Dedicated, Daring and Defiant.
