It began in the 1960s, with Detroit on overdrive — General Motors, Ford and Chrysler were expanding globally and executives from these industry giants, thanks to extensive work-related travel, became savvy, adventurous diners with a love of fine wine and professional service. This paved the way for Detroit to introduce a diverse range of dining destinations rivaled only by New York and Paris.

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.
