Michael Stadtländer, a local food luminary, and one of the Canada’s most celebrate chefs, has announced plans for his annual Wild Leek Festival.
Slated for May 2, the event features a number of the city’s top chefs such as Jamie Kennedy, Paul Boehmer, Daisuke Izutsu and John Higgins, gathering at the legendary Eigensinn Farm to "celebrate spring with a multi-course menu with maple syrup and wild leeks."
Stadtländer’s events are popular as it allows local foodies the opportunity to experience Eigensinn Farm, located near the town of Singhampton south of Collingwood, at the fairly reasonable cost of $180, compared to the $275 rate for an eight-course dinner at the restaurant.
According to the event release, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Chefs’ Congress and the Collingwood Women’s Shelter. As always with Eigensinn, bring your own wine and your own glass. To purchase tickets call 519-922-3128.
