Le chef renommé Pete Peterson décède à 82 ans

Harlan « Pete » Peterson, chef pionnier de Traverse City, Michigan, est décédé à l’âge de 82 ans. Son restaurant Tapawingo a été un pionnier de la scène culinaire du nord du Michigan pendant 25 ans. Une célébration de sa vie est prévue le 22 mars.

Harlan « Pete » Peterson, connu professionnellement comme Pete, est décédé à 82 ans à Traverse City, où il avait bâti un héritage durable dans le monde culinaire. Pendant 25 ans, jusqu’à sa fermeture en 2009, son restaurant Tapawingo à Ellsworth a servi de destination novatrice, précédant la tendance de la ferme à la table dans le nord du Michigan. L’établissement a reçu des éloges nationaux, The New York Times le décrivant comme « l’épicentre de la région, gastronomiquement parlant » et « le meilleur restaurant du pays situé à quatre heures de route de la grande ville la plus proche ». Des chefs célèbres ont également salué sa cuisine.  Peterson's influence extended beyond Tapawingo. He taught at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute (GLCI) and contributed to the launch of the acclaimed restaurant Alliance in Traverse City. In a January interview with The Ticker, Peterson reacted to news of a planned tribute: more than 20 chefs he had mentored or influenced— from local spots like Trattoria Stella, The Cooks’ House, Wren, Modern Bird, and Blu, to the Michelin-starred State Bird Provisions in San Francisco—were set to gather for a fundraising dinner at GLCI on March 12. He described himself as « flabbergasted » and touched by the gesture.  Peterson n’a pas assisté à l’événement, qui a depuis été reporté à une date future non encore annoncée, selon Patricia Cron-Huhta du GLCI. Une célébration de sa vie aura lieu dimanche 22 mars à 14 h à la maison funéraire Reynolds-Jonkhoff.
