Legends of the Stove

As part of a documentary film to be called “Detroit: The City of Chefs” — to be released later this year on Detroit Public Television by Keith Famie, executive producer and director, and his team at Visionalist Entertainment Productions in Wixom — The Legends of the Stove took place at the Detroit Athletic Club on Jan. 15. The historic gathering of iconic chefs, restauranteurs, and front-of-the-house legends from metro Detroit featured some 40 culinary masters, including Chef Milos Cihelka, Chef Douglas “Duglass” Grech, Chef Shawn Loving, Chef Ed Janos, Chef Jimmy Schmidt, Chef Anthony Lombardo, Chef Luciano Del Signore, Master Sommelier Madeline Triffon, Adrian Lark, Joe Vicari, and more. The evening, which included gourmet cuisine and wine, benefitted Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit, Rising Stars Academy, and the Rainbow Collection. // Photographs by Patrick Gloria
