The Culinary Collective at Oak & Reel

On March 9 and 10, Detroit’s Oak & Reel will be wrapping up their three-series Culinary Collective, which offers a dinner of a lifetime for many foodies, who will be able to experience a world-class meal without leaving Detroit. The series, presented by Motor City Seafood, offers a unique dining experience by Oak & Reel’s Chef Jared Gadbaw and his team, where they host and collaborate with celebrated chefs from around the country. On March 9 and 10, the Culinary Collective presents Erik Ramirez, the chef and partner behind New York City’s hit restaurants Llama Inn and Llama San and newly opened Llama Inn Madrid. Ramirez, who is Peruvian-American, began his culinary journey 20 years ago and still considers it an honor and privilege to create through food. The event includes a six-seven course dinner with beverage pairings (including a non-alcoholic beverage pairing option). Tickets to the event are $400 per person and benefit  Forgotten Harvest – a non-profit that works to fight hunger and food insecurity in our community. Reservations can be made by visiting Oak & Reel’s website. 2921 East Grand Boulevard, Detroit oakandreel.com
