Great Lakes -- Great Chefs Event
Our annual Great Lakes~Great Chefs Dinner gives you the opportunity to brush shoulders with the region's finest chefs. The inaugural event in 2009 featured Pete Peterson of Tapawingo fame. He donated his time and wealth of experience as a chef/restaurateur to serve as a chef-in-residence with our students. The dinner raises funds to provide for future guest chefs-in-residence at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute.
