Another Note on Black Star Farms

I know Iron Chef Mario Batali is a summer resident of Northport, Michigan and have many reports of him frequenting the vineyards (such as L. Mawby) of the Leelanau Wine Trail in Michigan and attending various food and wine events throughout the summer.  This is a testament to my shameless snooping and chatting up the people who work in the tasting rooms.


My parents were recently at the Black Star Farms tasting room in Traverse City and struck up a conversation with the wine pourer.  He said that Mario now supplies the pizzas for the cafe at the Suttons Bay location of Black Star Farms.  I haven't been able to find any info on this development online, so this news is unconfirmed, but will certainly be stopping in next time I am in the area.  I posted an article on this blog recently from the Huffinton Post on the evolving 'foodie' culture in northern Michigan and Mario was interviewed on the topic.
