From PBS - Our first season closes with a dramatic feast set on a roof top in New York City's best and brightest, chefs Matt Lightner, Anita Lo and Andy Ricker. The trio joins host Pete Evans for a trip out to Ward's Island where there is a fabulous garden, and then through Chinatown to gather ingredients for Anita and Andy. Back in a Manhattan loft, the team quickly cooks up a feast for 50 guests including a Steak Tartare, Soft Shell Crabs, and Stewed Duck.

Today on Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking, Pete joins three top chefs from metropolitan Chicago and travels three hours into the neighboring Michigan countryside for the makings of a true Midwestern meal. Cooking by the beautiful lakeside party are The Hearty Boys, Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh. Joining them is acclaimed pastry chef, Gail Gand. The entire meal is sourced within a radius of 5 miles from Buchanan, Michigan's center city, including some gorgeous summer veggies, corn meal from the town's old mill and beer from a local brewery. On today's menu, Breakfast Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt, Kale Salad with Pickled Beets, Lardons, Blue Cheese, and Honey Clove Vinaigrette, Ramp-Stuffed Sirloin Roll with Hazelnuts and Michigan Cherry Sauce and a Midwest favorite--Cornmeal Spaetzle with Charred Grape Tomatoes and Asparagus. It's happiness in the heartland!
