Traveling chefs spend summers in Leelanau

TRAVERSE CITY — Cooking has been a constant adventure for Andrew Schudlich and Cammie Buehler.

The travel chefs have served up food all over the country, whether at a duck hunt in Arkansas, a birthday party in New Orleans, an auto show in Las Vegas or a Jeep trail ride in Moab, Utah. But the two return to their Leelanau County roots each summer to run a seasonal catering business.

Schudlich and Buehler run Epicure Catering at the Cherry Basket Farm, 530 N. West Bay Shore Drive in Northport, from May through October. It has been that way since the longtime friends moved there to form the catering company in 2003.

“I just kind of felt this tug to come home,” said Cammie Buehler. “We both grew up in Michigan visiting the area every summer and we had always cooked to support ourselves.”

Our record high waters have critically imperiled this beloved historic and economic gem. There are match dollars available, doubling your contribution. 🐟
More from the FPS website:
High Lake Michigan water levels and greater flow over the Leland Dam have revealed additional structural issues to the @villagecheeseshanty , @carlsonsfish, and the Morris Shanty — already in critical condition. The shanty foundations require more extensive foundation work than originally planned. The Fishtown docks require far more than a few new pilings — they need to be entirely replaced. Construction and materials costs continue to increase. And the need is more urgent than ever.

Instagram post 2186649273990697070_241343944 Gorgeous, right? We think so! Jenna and Jared’s wedding is featured in the Spring/Summer 2020 print issue of @theknot Michigan and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it. We loved collaborating with J & J and the wonderful team at @anntravisevents. We don’t do this work for the sake of being published, but I have to admit that seeing the result in print never gets old. It’s a great reminder of the teamwork involved and the number of people it takes to bring an event to life. It’s an honor to be trusted with a couples vision for their big day, and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on such a special milestone.

Instagram post 2184967318677169962_241343944 I’m a fan of Monday as it’s a chance for a fresh start and to remind ourselves of our goals, no matter how small. Salad is always a good decision, especially at a time of year when we can be prone to over-indulge (I’m saying this to my friend in the mirror😉). May there be many healthy decisions in your life this week. ❤️

Instagram post 2181322268591041604_241343944 In looking at a jam packed 2020 calendar, head spinning, I’m reminded yet again of the essence of why we do what we do... it’s the people! It’s the team! The relationships we build while catering and collaborating are what make this job so rewarding. Working with a well oiled team is one of our true joys and our greatest honors. I have never encountered an industry where laughter, hu$tle, and professionalism can dovetail so seamlessly. I look at this image and I feel so, so grateful to have the opportunity to do what I do and for the people I get to hang with along the way. Hospitalitarians for life! ❤️#epicurecateringnorthernmichigan #thelittlefleet #eventsherpas #hospitalitarianextraordinaire
