Chefs compete to fund food and culture exhibit

Schoolcraft College will host a live chef challenge Saturday, April 21 beginning at 7 p.m. in the VisTaTech Center. Proceeds will benefit the Michigan Humanities Council, which is sponsoring a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution and Michigan State University Museum, highlighting the importance of food in our culture.

Four chefs, each of whom is a Schoolcraft graduate or student, will compete by creating an ultimate Michigan meal out of a mystery basket they receive. Diners will watch the competition live while they enjoy a strolling meal, accompanied by Black Star Farms wine.

Tickets for the Chef Challenge are available at the Michigan Foodways Web site, www.michiganfoodways.org, by calling (517) 372-7770, or by calling Schoolcraft College at (734) 462-4463. Tickets are $100 each, $50 of which is tax deductible.
