Some of the most exciting meals happen when culinary worlds collide. The Global Table is a celebration of the bold, diverse, and deeply personal culinary traditions that define American food today — brought to life through an extraordinary partnership of six chefs from across the country, each bringing a distinct voice, heritage, and point of view to a single, unforgettable table.
The evening has its roots in a shared moment of recognition: Kate Williams, Kevin Tien, Diana Dávila, and Ji Hye Kim were each named among Food & Wine's Best New Chefs — an honor that connected four of the country's most exciting culinary voices and planted the seeds of a lasting friendship and creative partnership. Williams brings the warmth and seasonal-voluptuous cooking that made Lady of the House a Detroit icon; Tien, the visionary chef behind Washington D.C.'s Moon Rabbit — recently named to North America's 50 Best Restaurants — brings his celebrated modern Vietnamese fine dining north; Dávila, the Chicago-born chef behind Mi Tocaya Antojería and a perennial James Beard contender, brings her deeply personal and inventive take on Mexican cuisine; and Kim, a four-time James Beard semifinalist, channels ancient Korean culinary traditions through the seasonal lens of her acclaimed Ann Arbor restaurant Miss Kim. Joining their circle of friends for the evening is Omar Anani, the Palestinian-Egyptian American chef behind Detroit's acclaimed Saffron De Twah and a two-time James Beard finalist, whose bold, spice-forward sensibility rounds out an already extraordinary table. The evening is hosted by Artisan Executive Chef Sarah Bobier, a Traverse City native whose ingredient-driven cooking and deep ties to northern Michigan's farms and producers make her the perfect guide for a night of global flavors rooted in local hospitality.
Six chefs. Six culinary traditions. One remarkable table.
