“The Maine Course” is a brand new culinary program where food and storytelling intersect.

Inspired by the exhibition Stories of Maine: An Incomplete History, we invite Maine-based chefs to cook a favorite dish and share the story behind it with our audiences. Join us for this exciting program with Mike Wiley from Eventide, and afterwards you will receive a recipe so you can try your hand at creating a special dish from home.

$10, free for members

Big Tree Hospitality owner Mike Wiley is a James Beard Award-winning chef. His inquisitive nature carried him through a 6-year stint in academia, and ultimately left him with a Masters in Rhetoric and a determination to get back in the kitchen. His tireless curiosity has since led him to become the company’s resident culinary nerd, and an authority on sustainable sourcing and fermentation. Mike’s intellectual approach to culinary work keeps him close to menu development on a daily basis, as well as mentoring and training new chefs.
