Food...

Local foodies in Michigan now have a reason to tune into WJR on Sunday nights. Michigan agriculture is the focus of a new local radio show, “Come to the Table,” with host Melinda Curtis airs Sunday nights at 7:00. Curtis is founder of Slow Food Detroit and a program representative for the Michigan Department of Agriculture’s Select Michigan campaign. She’s worked with local chefs in Michigan and experts around the country to figure out how to increase local food production and marketing in Michigan, and connect people with what they eat. In her show, Curtis discusses the region’s food heritage and interviews local chefs, authors, and experts. Not from Michigan? Not a problem, the topic of good, clean food is important to all of us, and Michigan’s regional food discussion reflects the national debate. Plus, sometimes she features yummy recipes like baked crabmeat and oyster stuffed flounder from the February 10 show.
